If the Sox seiously wanted to re-sign him, I'm sure that they wouldn't have let $6 million over 4 years stand in their way.

Maybe when a lot of those Fenway HRs die in the cavernous left-center field of CitiField, he'll realize that maybe the extra million and a half a year wasn't worth it.

At the end of his new contract his career will be over. The numbers he puts up during will mean nothing for a future contract because there won't be one. Bay cashed in. The Mets are such suckers.

Their front office is the biggest collection of Stooges this side of the Oakland Raiders

They didn't learn their lesson with Petey--if the Sox let a couple of million over 3-4 years stand between them and re-signing a big-name free agent, there's a very good reason, and it has nothing to do with not being able to pay the freight.
