Jason Bay deal is off: Jason Bay wanted more money. Or, at least that’s what we were told. Bay ultimately signed with the Mets for $6 million more than the Red Sox offered him. But, Bay came out to WEEI this week stating that he had in fact originally accepted the Sox’ offer. However, the Red Sox pulled it off the table due to health concerns, and would only offer Bay a deal that included mandatory knee surgery and two of the years only guaranteed if his health was in good condition. However, two doctors, and then the Mets doctor later confirmed that Bay was in fine health and did not need knee surgery, not a shocker since Bay was never on the DL this season. All Bay really wanted to sign was a contract that didn’t include health restrictions, since he didn’t have any health problems. So, the Red Sox could have kept one of our only decent bats after all.
