Mets offer Jason Bay 65MM

[indycub]

"The Mets have offered free agent outfielder Jason Bay about $65 million over four years. Mets people like the fact that they see Bay as a pull hitter who can hit home runs in Citi Field and believe he can cover enough ground in the outfield there, as well. The Red Sox, Mariners and Angels are among the other teams that are interested in Bay. The Mets are in the market for a run-producing outfielder. They fear that another vaunted slugger, Matt Holliday, would require a protracted contract negotiation and would cost more than Bay. The Mets are also still negotiating with free agent catcher Bengie Molina." -- SI.com

Well, at least we're not the only fans of a team whose management is still in the dark ages.

I mean the yearly salary he'd make is there, and is right in line with his production (about $16 million a year), but for some reason I don't see Jason Bay signing anywhere unless it's for a minimum of 5 years and somewhere in the range of $90-$110 million
