Bay, Red Sox ‘table’ extension discussions 03.15.09 at 10:41 am ET
By Rob Bradford

Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein said that, after substantive conversations with outfielder Jason Bay (and his representatives) about the possibility of a contract extension this spring, the two sides have concluded that an agreement is not possible at this time. The Sox and Bay will disengage from discussions for the rest of the spring, though the two sides remain open to resuming conversations over the course of the season.

The reason for the inability to come to an agreement was a dramatically changing market for the services of power-hitting corner outfielders. This offseason, that market seemed to collapse, with players such as Pat Burrell (two years, $16 million), Adam Dunn (two years, $20 million) and Bobby Abreu (one year, $5 million) all getting much less than the market would have suggested in past offseasons.

Bay is entering the final year of a four-year, $18.25 million deal he signed with the Pirates before the 2006 season. He is due to receive $7.5 million for the coming year.

Bay, a career, .282 hitter with a .375 OBP and .516 OBP, performed almost exactly to those numbers with the Red Sox after being traded to Boston last July 31. The 30-year-old hit .293/.370/.527 with the Sox during the regular season, then hit .341/.471/.634 in the playoffs.

    Like I said previously, no reason to sign an extension now. This season he will have the Red Sox, Yankees, Mets, Angels bidding for his services, no reason to take 50-60m from Sox (like all their fans want) when he could get 90m on the open market

  • Jeff Maine

    Bay will NOT gt 90 million from anyone. The market wont appreciate to any real extent for another 3 or so years. The economy isnt likely to improve any time soon, regardless of how effective any finanial policies affect positive economic change.

    That said, this coming winter, and likey the following winter as well, will continue to be just as bad as this winter was for free agents.

    Best case for Bay? I’d wager that a 4-5 year deal for 60-70 million will be TOPS what he could expect.

    Also, even if he could somehow miraculously get 90, the Sox will walk away from Drew if he has another injury riddled season…giving the Sox more cash to play with.

    I’ll say it now….Boston will keep Bay. Holliday will be a Yankee.

  • hopeful

    I hope that Jeff is right. He makes a lot of sense from what I have read. Jason Bay will be a Boston Red Sox player, hopefully for at least 4 years.

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

    If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

    Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

    The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

    I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

    I mastered more a new challenge on this weight-loss issue. A single issue is a good nutrition is vital when dieting. A big reduction in fast foods, sugary foods, fried foods, sugary foods, pork, and white flour products can be necessary. Holding wastes bloodsuckers, and toxic compounds may prevent goals for losing weight. While certain drugs quickly solve the challenge, the unpleasant side effects aren’t worth it, plus they never offer more than a short-term solution. It is a known incontrovertible fact that 95% of diet plans fail. Thanks for sharing your ideas on this weblog.
