must of left a bad taste with the Sox. Those numbers weren't too far off from what the Sox offered him?  Have fun playing in New York on a team that won't make the playoffs the entire time he's on the team. Just goes to show you it has and always will be about the money. Too bad, i liked him as a Sock. |

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.

 It's all about the AGENT'S money. They don't care where a guy plays or what the circumstances or conditions are, they only know the more cash they can generate, the bigger their cut.  |

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. |
