the Mets should have fun next season...now that Uncle Roy is in the division playing for the Phillies.
Gotta love it... Lackey goes to the Sox and Halladay to the Phils and Omar offers a FA minor league contract to a has been never will be pitcher. Maybe he and Molina can play catch together when their both playing in Buffalo next year.
So, we prolly don't even get Bay...... By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20091215&content_id=7813814&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb 12/15/09 3:50 PM EST NEW YORK -- Left field is one of the remaining areas the Yankees are checking into as they approach the winter finish line, but it does not appear that they consider Jason Bay to be an answer. The Yankees have no interest in signing Bay to a long-term contract, the New York Daily News reported on Tuesday, not wanting to commit more than $60 million to another outfielder. A report published on Tuesday in the Boston Herald noted that the Yankees made contact with Bay's representative, Joe Urbon, but that should not be considered surprising in itself. General manager Brian Cashman has stayed busy with numerous agents this winter. Bay, 31, hit .267 with 36 home runs and 119 RBIs in 151 games for the Red Sox this year and is not expected to return to Boston. The Mets, Mariners and Angels are said to be the front-runners in the chase for Bay, with the Mets reportedly offering Bay a deal in the range of four years and $65 million. The Daily News reports that the Yankees suspect Bay will become a designated hitter within that four-year period. The Yankees have been seeking an outfielder who is capable of spending some of his time as a designated hitter, and their first choice remains bringing back Johnny Damon -- a strategy that cost them Hideki Matsui, as the World Series MVP decided not to wait and is close to inking a deal with the Angels. New York has also shown some interest in free agent Mark DeRosa, though he runs a distant second to Damon, whom the Yankees would like back on a two-year contract worth approximately $18 million to $19 million.
did you even read the article? the whole point of it was that the Yankees are NOT interested in signing Bay
I also know that the Yankee's weren't interested in Tex last year either and that worked out well for you guys. I'll never believe the Yankees aren't interested in somebody until he signs elsewhere.

Molina wants 3 years and 20 million, if the Mets agree to that shit I will drive off a fucking cliff. That's insane and Omar better stand his ground at 2 years.
I wouldn't even consider Sheets. The guy hasn't pitched since the 08 season and has a long career of injury problems. He also has reported to wanting 13 million a year....ya no.
