3-4 a couple of nights ago, with a 2B and a BB.  1-1 last night with a 2B.  In doing a bit of snooping there is a bit of a problem here:  Bautista (age 34) and Encanacion (age 32) are both coming into their final contract year in '16, a $14M team option for Bautista and a $10M option for Encarnacion.  Assuming you sign them both at that discount rate, then you lose at least one of them the following year, likely both (their deals will,not be team friendly)  Figuing that it is Bautista, you would like to have a young, athletic, guy to plug into RF.  Revere-Pillar-Pompey would be pretty impressive roaming around out there. 

Both Bautista and Encarnacion are 10-5 guys, so they have control over possible trades.  

I'm betting the Jay's will be very reluctant to trade Pompey.  You would have to go real big.  

I would certainly sniff it out.  But I think Jon Jay is the more available guy and the cost is likely less.

And as I think about it, Toronto would like young arms, I bet.  Is a Pompey worth a Paxton or Walker?
