Jose Bautista has officially had his 2018 club option declined by the Toronto Blue Jays, making him a free agent. (Mark Feinsand on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact:

The option was a mutual one for $17 million with a $500,000 buyout. It was a rough year for the 37-year-old. He stayed healthy and played in 157 games, but hit just .203/.308/.366 with 23 homers. Bautista will likely have to settle for a one-year deal somewhere.
