Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista won't be playing on Friday night due to a one-game suspension, but it looks like he's made some plans for himself on his night off.
With the Toronto Raptors fighting off elimination in Game 6 at Air Canada Centre versus the Cleveland Cavaliers, the power slugging outfielder wants to attend.

Bautista was seen on Twitter looking for tickets to Game 6 late Friday afternoon. He eventually reached a deal with Raptors fan and Montreal Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban:
Hey @PKSubban1 got an extra ticket to the @Raptors game?

I'll trade you my ticket for a bat flip tomorrow. Deal ?!?! ☝ https://t.co/M5vyA9QnVK

It comes as a bit of a shock that Bautista would have to strike a deal just to get a ticket for the Raptors' playoff game. Rogers Communications owns not only the Blue Jays franchise, but also the Raptors franchise.
Regardless, it looks like Bautista will be a part of the festivities at Air Canada Centre.
