7:50am:
Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports hears that the two sides are discussing a two-year contract (Twitter link). FOX’s Ken Rosenthal agrees, tweeting that Bautista and the Jays are discussing a two-year pact in the $35-40MM range. That’s a departure from Passan’s report, though it should be noted that Passan’s tweets were around 2am, so there’s certainly been enough time for talks to have changed course.

 
JAN. 16, 7:13am: Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports reports that the two sides have discussed multiple iterations of a deal but are currently focused on a one-year pact (Twitter links). A deal isn’t quite done yet, but each side is optimistic that something will be completed.

That's actually a good deal. Kind of glad he's back on the team.

Good deal for both sides.  Bautista is loved (or at least liked) by the fans in Toronto.  He has done very well in that culture.  The contract is not bad for either side.  If he does well, he can get paid again in a couple of years.
By the way, GMF1991, nice looking porterhouse.

Surprised all he could get was a 2 year deal but definitely not shocked. Cool he is going back to the Jays, they should be in the AL East hunt all year

Could be 1 year with a mutual option.  $$$ have not been released.
