OXON HILL, Md. — Jose Bautista has long been booed whenever he’s played in Baltimore. Now, the free agent slugger wants the Orioles to consider signing him, and the team isn’t having any part of that.

Bautista has tussled in recent years with Baltimore pitcher Darren O’Day and outfielder Adam Jones, among others.

Orioles Executive VP Dan Duquette was asked about the 36-year-old Bautista on a Toronto radio station Tuesday night, and he said he wouldn’t sign the longtime Blue Jays star because Baltimore fans didn’t like him.
