So what is going on in Met-land?
Contract offers to Jason Bay and Bengie Molina. Let's leave Molina out since it seems this one might be the genuine article.
Now the Bay contract? Well...
Lots of speculation by the spinning heads that the Mets are in dire need of stimulating season tix sales, which have been slooow this off season by most accounts.
So you offer a deal to a guy that's just a little north of the Red Sox offer, and maybe you make it appear as if you're a player in the sweepstakes. Maybe not.
I think that all being equal, Bay stays with Boston. Easier to play the short left field and he has a comfort level there. Then the braintrust in Queens can say "Hey, we tried!" and then go sign some .265 spud.
Wait and see. Hope I am wrong. I like Matt Holliday better anyway.
