DETROIT -- Bengie Molina's option isn't the only option. When the Blue Jays signed Molina in February, part of the catcher's contract included a $7.5 million mutual option for 2007. It's unlikely that both sides would agree to pick it up for next year.
That doesn't mean Molina isn't willing to negotiate a different deal in order to rejoin the Blue Jays next season. If Toronto wants to exercise the $500,000 buyout on Molina's deal, he doesn't mind discussing an alternative.
"It's the only option right now because that's what's on the table," said Molina, referring to the mutual option. "But it's not only that. I've always been open."
