Former Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista is in talks with “several teams” on a one-year contract, which includes the Tampa Bay Rays and Atlanta Braves, according to Marly Rivera of ESPN.

Bautista, 37, is still without a team after his deal with the Blue Jays expired after last season. He is coming off a disappointing 2017 after slashing .203/.308/.366 in 157 games.
