Jason Bay Rumors: Friday

As you know, the Mets topped Boston's Jason Bay bid by $5MM by offering four years and $65MM yesterday.  John Tomase of the Boston Herald provides some insight into Bay's asking price: he says Bay's agent countered the Boston offer with six years at $16-18MM annually.  So, between $96-108MM.  It's been speculated by one official that the team offering Bay five years will get him.
