As the clock struck midnight, Red Sox left-fielder Jason Bay became an official a free agent.Bay rejected a four year, $60 contract offered by general manager Theo Epstein.
Apparently the slugger thinks he can score a better deal with a different club.
Well Sox fans that just says it all. If Bay wanted to stay in Boston for sure, he would have just accepted the deal.
If you think this sounds wicked familiar let's back track about five years ago to fan favorite Nomar Garciaparra. Back then there were reports that he also rejected a four year, $60 million deal. Now however he said that was never true.
Of course this ended completely differently, for one thing the deal was brought up during spring training not at the end of the season, and second off everyone knows what happened on July 31, 2004.
As far as I'm concerned Bay is gone unless he and his agent Joe Urbon come crawling back because no other team is willing to give him more figures or years.
