Theo: Bay to see what’s out there 11.19.09 at 12:30 pm ET
By Rob Bradford

Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein met with a small group of reporters at Fenway Park following David Ortiz’ press conference publicizing the slugger’s golf tournament and offered an update on the Jason Bay negotiations as the Sox’ exclusive negotiating period comes to an end at midnight, Thursday.

“It will last as long as it lasts, until one side does something different. I think this part of the process is important to him, so he’ll see what it’s like, see what’s out there and ultimately make a decision,” said Epstein, who said the two sides have maintained dialogue throughout the two-week period following the completion of the World Series.

“That’s not up to us. I think all along we maintained it was likely he was going to see what was out there.”

A report on SI.com suggested Bay turned down the Red Sox latest offer of four years, $60 million.

    Ok…I may not have the facts, but following the Sox last yr. from California I was so happy Bay became part of the organization. Especially after you know who did a disgrace to the team…thank god he is gone. But to turn down 4 years for $60 million dollars, it seems Bay has lost his mind and has a bigger echo. No team in this day and economy is going to pay him more. How greedy can Bay get. I hope this is not another example of pro athlete who had a great half season think he is king of the world. We have already had one outfield make a mockery of the Red Sox name…let’s not make it two.

    I hope “Kim in SoCal” is right…Let me premise this by saying I love Jason Bay and I want him back in Boston, but wouldn’t it be great if Bay/Urbon came back in late Dec or Jan with tail between their legs and takes the 4 yr 60 mil offer!!! Factors being economy and no other major suitors. Lets also re-sign AGonzo at $2.5-$3.0 for 1 year with a team option on 2nd year.
