Heyman On Bautista, Wakefield, Dominguez, Perez

Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos told Jon Heyman of SI.com that he thought carefully before locking up Jose Bautista to a $65MM extension. "When you spend that kind of money, I don't think you can ever be completely comfortable," Anthopoulos said. "And I am one to agonize over everything, anyway,'' Both Anthopoulos and Bautista acknowledged that a second 54-homer season is unlikely, but that doesn't mean the former utility player can't produce. Here are the rest of Heyman's rumors...

• Boston's front office has not seriously considered cutting Tim Wakefield.
• Dennys Reyes, who can opt out of his contract Friday, will likely make the team as well, according to Heyman.
• Two scouts say Marlins third baseman Matt Dominguez isn't ready to hit in the major leagues. However, he's an above-average defender.
• Though manager Joe Girardi won't say as much, Ivan Nova has locked up the Yankees' No. 4 starter job, according to Heyman.
• It appears that Oliver Perez will find a job. The Yankees and Brewers aren't interested.
• Scouts tell Heyman that Twins pitching prospect Kyle Gibson isn't far from the majors.
