VIDEO: Bautista trades Blue Jays jersey for fan's Messi shirt

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista knows a good deal when he sees one. Even if it's for an ill-fitting shirt two sizes too small.

Bautista put on his salesman's hat before Wednesday's game in Texas when he spotted a fan wearing Lionel Messi's new Barcelona shirt. He promptly traded the Blue Jays batting practice jersey off his back to secure it.

Bautista, who also provided the fan a pair of signed baseballs, told Sportsnet's Barry Davis he couldn't pass up an opportunity to get his hands on the coveted shirt.

"I wanted one of the new ones. I don't have a Messi jersey in the new set yet, and he was open to exchanging it for my jersey. ... I'm going to enjoy the jersey. I have to wear it today and it's a little small, but it's one more for my collection."
