Jose Bautista says that he has given the Toronto Blue Jays "a number" on what it would take to sign him to an extension and he isn't willing to negotiate further.

"I did not go to them. They asked me a question, what would it take to get it done and I gave them an answer. It's not an adamant, drawn lines in the sand or anything. Simply questions were asked, I felt like for this process to go down smoothly there didn't need to be any time wasted and efforts wasted for either party. If this is going to happen, they should know what it takes and I told them the number because they asked me," Bautista told ESPN.

Bautista said the Blue Jays came to him with their question two weeks ago. He said he is "not willing to negotiate."

"I'm not going to sit here and bargain for a couple of dollars," adding later "they either meet it or it is what it is."
