JayBay to Seattle?

Winter meetings have begun, so the rumors have started as well. Here's one being reported today.

Geoff Baker tweeted that the he's heard Jason Bay told his former Pittsburgh teammates he'd "stand on his head and sing" to play for the Mariners.

It makes sense geographically that Bay would like to play in Seattle, as his home province of British Columbia is north of the Emerald City. Additionally, his wife is from Kirkland, just 30 minutes outside of Seattle, and Bay and his family live there in the offseason (Hat tip: Ryan Divish). We've heard several reports that the Mariners are interested in Bay already, which stands to reason as they could use some added punch to the middle of their lineup.

Noooooo!!!! Doesn't sound too good. Do we have any "ellsburys" in the minors ???

Bay has turned down arbitration, and the Sox' first offer. His agent is currently in heavy negotiations with the Angels. Looks like we may lose him and all we have is Hermida to fill in at LF.

Bay has turned down yet another offer from Sox. According to his agent, they have much better offers from a couple of clubs. He said Bay is prepared to move on. He also said he the Sox negotiations have not surprised him. So who's going to platoon LF with Hermida?

Don't know the Sox monetary offer, but you know how they are about giving out 4 year contracts, and one team has already offered Bay 4 or more years. Can you really blame these guys for not wanting to relocate their families every 3 years?

a friend of mine up in WA says its all in the papers up there how much Bay wants to live in WA and play in WA. - i cant blame him or his family, though i'd much rather play for the sox! :-) ... too blown away from the Lowell trade to think further...:-)

Looks like Bay has decided to go to NY after all.....the Mets, that is. Red Sox will get a 2nd round draft pick from the Mets as well as an additional "sandwich" pick from the Mets. Gonna miss Bay, big mistake on Theo's part.
