The last few days I cant help but think the Mets are getting played by Jason Bay's agent. We heard last week that there was some "mysterious team" that had offered Bay a 5 year deal. If this were true, why hasn't he accepted their offer yet? Not only that at this point it seems like the Mets are the only team left standing in the Jason Bay sweepstakes. The Rex Sox signed Cameron, the Angels picked up Matsui, the Mariners traded for Bradley, The White Sox picked up Pierre, the Yanks got Granderson, the Cards are working hard on Matt Holliday. Who else is even bidding on Bay right now?

The Mets made Bay a 4 year 65 million dollar deal 9 days ago, and nobody has topped our offer. Its time for Omar to call Bay's bluff. Omar should call Bay and his agent tomorrow and say that our offer is good through the weekend, after that he can go find his 5 year deal elsewhere. Read More...

MLBTradeRumors.com is reporting that the Rockies may try to sign Paul Lo Duca after this season to become their starting catcher. According to the post, the Rockies have "long coveted" him and he should be there for the signing this winter.

This is news to me. I never knew the Rockies ever had interest. With Paulie just coming back from the DL, it could be a sign that his age may finally be catching up to him. I wouldn't doubt us letting him go for someone younger. (which is probably a smart move) but, I personally don't want to see him go. He is a bonafide leader for this club, and is one of (if not) the best when it comes to coming through with RISP. Recently with him being shifted to the 7th spot in the lineup though, he has become very expendable in many people's eyes. Read More...
