Jason Bay's agent, Joe Urbon, just confirmed some unsurprising news to Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald. The left fielder will turn down the team's arbitration offer and continue to explore the open market. Bay's Type A status assures the Red Sox two top picks if another team out-bids them.
Bay has already turned down one offer from the Red Sox, and is starting to discuss a possible deal with the Angels according to one report.
