"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blue Jays star Jose Bautista hasn\u2019t spoken with the team\u2019s official broadcaster since May, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;The Toronto Star&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;has figured out why.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It turns out Bautista thinks Sportsnet, the network owned by the same company that owns the Blue Jays, owes rookie second baseman Devon Travis a whole bunch of money for a designer suit.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sportsnet took Travis to a chic Toronto clothing store for a makeover and the rookie bought a pricey suit for a segment that aired on the network. \u201CBautista believes Sportsnet took advantage of Travis\u2014since it was the network\u2019s idea to do the suit-buying special\u2014and that he needs to stand up for his rookie teammate, who is unable to stand up for himself given his lower-echelon status in the league and with his new team,\u201D the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Star&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;reports.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;Steinbrenner flipped Kevin Millar the bird after the 2003 ALCS&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Travis is making the MLB rookie minimum of $507,500 (that\u2019s $675,000 Canadian) this season, and after getting paid&amp;nbsp;below minimum wage in the minors, he\u2019s not exactly rich yet.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sportsnet, Travis and Bautista all declined to comment for the &lt;i&gt;Star&lt;/i&gt;\u2019s story, though Bautista did confirm that the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Star&lt;/em&gt;\u2019s understanding of the issue was correct.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is unusual because Bautista never holds grudges.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Dan Gartland&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
