Well its officially that time again. The time of, "who should the Red Sox sign, re-sign, drop, and trade for" time.There are, indeed, a lot of questions. Here's a quick breakdown:The obviousJason Bay and Jason VaritekThe not as obviousAlex Gonzalez and Rocco BaldelliIn questionMike Lowell and David OrtizThis was the 2009 starting lineup for the most part:1. Jacoby Ellsbury CF2. Dustin Pedroia 2B3. Victor Martinez C/1B /Kevin Youkilis 1B/3B4. Jason Bay LF5. J.D. Drew RF6. David Ortiz DH7. Mike Lowell 3B8. Jason Varitek C9. Alex Gonzalez/Nick Green/Jed Lowrie SSWill Boston lock up Bay? There's a chance General Manager Theo Epstein won't fork over the years and money.Will Jason Varitek be back? If not, that's why Epstein traded for Martinez.Baldelli said he wants to return in a Red Sox uniform next year, but with the trade for Jeremy Hermida from the Florida Marlins, that possibility may not be one anymore.What about Lowell and Ortiz? Their ages are becoming a...

Bay Vs Cameron

Via  |  November 09, 2009
With the season over and the clock ticking towards the beginning of free agency, you’re going to see a lot of rankings of the available players. I would imagine that every single one of them will have Jason Bay slotted in as the #2 position player on the market, behind only Matt Holliday. [...]

Get the latest news from the GM meetings

Via Fox Sports  |  November 10, 2009
Jason Bay is going to be in high demand. And in the latest from the GM meetings, it seems his hometown team is joining the pursuit.

Will The Yanks Go After Bay Or Holliday?

Via Sliding Into Home  |  November 08, 2009
With all the controversy surrounding weather to bring back Johnny Damon or Hideki Matsui, many fans have brought up the idea of signing outfielders Matt Holliday or Jason Bay. To me, when you win a championship, you shouldn't really try to change your team all that much, unless there's a guy like Mark Teixeira or CC Sabathia out there on the market, which this year, there...

Trades Of The Decade: Manny To Dodgers, Bay To Red Sox

Via MLB Trade Rumors  |  November 08, 2009
It's not hard to tell when Manny's unhappy. And a year and a half ago, Manny had had enough. He wanted out of Boston and it wasn't long before he pushed the team's traveling secretary over and told ESPNDeportes "the Red Sox don't deserve a player like me." So it was hardly surprising that Theo Epstein dealt Manny Ramirez on July 31st, 2008. But...

And So the Posturing Begins...

Via Fenway West  |  November 10, 2009
As the Hot Stove begins to heat up the rumor mill will go into action and both sides will use the media to try to raise or lower player values.  Today we have news from two teams looking to bring down some prices which in turn could help the Red Sox.  First there is the Mets who say that Jason Bay and Matt Holliday will be too expensive for them.  The Yankees are also trying this...

Buzz: Holliday and Bay Could Be Too Expensive

Via Matthew Cerrone's Mets Blog  |  November 10, 2009
Joel Sherman, in a post to his blog for the New York Post, says that the prices for Matt Holliday and Jason Bay could be too high for the Mets. Instead, Sherman says that the Mets are exploring the idea of ’sprinkling’ power around the field with players such as Jermaine Dye and Bengie Molina. In 2009, [...]

Note: The Mets and Spending, the Fans on Tickets

Via Matthew Cerrone's Mets Blog  |  November 10, 2009
This morning, Adam Rubin of the Daily News wrote, citing team insiders, “Omar Minaya expected the salary demands of Matt Holliday and Jason Bay to be too high for the Mets.” In response, Anthony De Rosa of Hotfoot writes, “If Holliday and Bay are too expensive for the Mets, your tickets are too expensive for me.” …oooh, [...]

Trading for outfield help

Via The iYankees Blog  |  November 08, 2009
This winter, if the Yankees choose to steer clear of expensive free agents such as Matt Holliday and Jason Bay, and, given the lack of fully developed talent in the organization’s farm system (Austin Jackson isn’t ready yet), how will Brian Cashman address a bereft left field in the Bronx? While there are cheaper candidates, [...]

Thin free-agent market may lead to trades

Via SI.com  |  November 09, 2009
CHICAGO -- No team is going to spend or presumably improve via free agency like the Yankees did last winter, when they doled out $423.5 million to three star players alone. Post-parade, and as the GM meetings get underway here on Monday, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that the Yankees spent wisely. But with the Yankees far less needy this winter and this year's free...

Red Sox Rumors: Bay, Wagner, Beckett, V-Mart

Via *D MLB Trade Rumors  |  November 10, 2009
GM Theo Epstein says the Red Sox and Jason Bay have yet to make "significant developments" according to Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald. Here are the details and the rest of Silverman's rumors: Epstein expects Bay to explore free agency, but the Red Sox are willing to wait for the left fielder to do so, at least to an extent. The Red Sox may bring...
