Star Outfielder Bay Signs with Mets 45
Posted: December 29, 2009, 3:55 PM ; Updated: December 29, 2009, 4:27 PM
The Mets have reached a deal to bring All-Star outfielder Jason Bay to New York pending a physical, SI.com confirmed.
The Mets most recent known offer to Bay was believed to be for $66 million over four years with a vesting option for a fifth year. Bay was holding out for a five-year, $80 million offer.
Bay batted .267/.384/.537 for the Red Sox in 2009 with 36 home runs and 119 RBIs. He came to Boston in July 2008 in the three-way trade with the Dodgers and Pirates that sent Manny Ramriez to Los Angeles. Bay helped the Red Sox reach the postseason each of the past two years, but he had just one hit and no RBIs in Boston's three-game sweet at the hands of the Angels in the 2009 American League Division Series.
Bay won the 2004 National League Rookie of the Year award with the Pirates and is a three-time All-Star.

I hate to break it to all you Mets fans out there, but their pitching still won't win enough games to clinch the division. I say wild card is the best playoff spot they can get.
you're totally right baseballchampion305 mets pitching stinks it up
mets curse......
Who Really cares... i Am A yanks Fan
I Care...I Hate The Yanks Period And Im Never Going To Like Them
arod is on roids he doesn't deserve any fame
arod is 10 times better than david wright and wright is 10 times better than feliz did anyone see the typo torwords the end when they said he had 3 hits in the red sox 3 game sweet of the angels it should be 3 game sweep
A-Rod bats much better than David Wright and Jason Bay combined. Yanks all the way and mets didnt even make it to the playoffs.
thats right netjet4. as much as i like the red sox, i think the mets will win it all if they don't collapse at the end of the regular season.
david wrigts 10 times better than a-roid or pedro feliz. mets world series champs 2010.
yea i know right?
DANGDANGDANGDANGDANGDANG!!!!!!!!!! i am an ENOURMUS Red Sox fan. mike cameron certantly cant replace a guy like bay who does damage in the outfield and at the plate. considering the mets collapses in previous seasons, i think bay will regret that contract and wish that he had stayed in boston. maybe bay forgot that there are no NL teams in his home country of canada and knows that he probably wont play there in the few AL/NL matchups.
this is great news! now the mets can find somebody to bring the runners in from scoring position because david wright cant really do that at all!
yes david wright can!
wow thats bad for the phillies
