According to Bill Madden of the Daily News the Red Sox have decided not to try and re-sign Jason Bay.The second left fielder in the free agent market is often an after thought to Matt Holliday, but Bay is a solid pick-up in his own right. The 31 y/o right handed hitting outfielder is a lifetime .280 hitter with a .519 Slg. pct. and a .364 OBP. The knocks on Bay are his lower batting average and poor defense. Initially I expected Bay to remain in Boston but if they're not interested in keeping him, then anyone has a chance at signing him... The Red Sox are going to be looking to upgrade their offense this winter and have apparently decided not to try to re-sign Jason Bay- whose rep, Scott (Avenging Agent) Boras, has had a long, acrimonious history with them, most recently on display during last winter's Mark Teixeira negotiations. source Daily News
