Baltimore Orioles general manager Dan Duquette says the fans have spoken, and they dont want free agent Jose Bautista.We told [Bautistas] agent that we are not interested because our fans dont like him, Duquette said on Sportsnet Radio 590 The Fan on Wednesday morning. Our fans dont like Jose Bautista, with good reason.The former Toronto Blue Jays outfielder, now a free agent, has had a number of incidents with Orioles pitcher Darren ODay and outfielder Adam Jones.In 2013, ODay and Bautista exchanged words after the slugger struck out. Bautista later homered in that game and the two got into it again. In 2014, ODay plunked Bautista in what appeared to be retaliation for Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman?throwingg at an Orioles hitter.ddddddddddddThen in an April 2015 game, Jones took exception to a Bautista bat flip after a home run, and the two exchanged words.Duquette did acknowledge that the money Bautista wants could also be an issue, saying of course, that may change. But the [qualifying offer] makes things difficult.Bautistas agent, Jay Alou, told ESPNs Toni Collins on Wednesday that he never had such a conversation with Duquette. He said he was not aware that anyone in his organization had spoken with the Orioles and that he was going to reach out to Duquette for clarification. ' ' '
