  If Jason Bay turns into half the player he was in Boston for the Mariners, I’m going to have to strongly consider the Mets being cursed in some way

    And i’d have to second that emotion. His plummeting production for the Mets vs. his career #s is mind-boggling.

    If Bay goes back to Boston numbers you may be right about the curse. Maybe the Mets should start looking around the clubhouse for Pedro Serrano’s old “Jobuu” figure from the
    movie “Major League”.

  Watch he’s gonna go back to his old self lol

  Good luck to him there but he was not doing it for us.

  ~Oliver Perez o_O

  If Bay reverts back to his old self, I’m gonna enjoy sitting back watching people bullshit on how Bay could’ve been traded instead of dumped like yesterday’s trash, like how Bayonne talked about how Oliver Perez could’ve been traded lol.

    hahaha.

  Best of luck to Bay. Maybe the change of scenery will do him some good.

  ‘His Seattle salary will be deducted from the Mets’ obligation to him.’

  I didn’t realize that…..

    You didn’t realize cause its not at all true. The terms of release were reported at the time, and they included the fact that future contract Bay signed was all his. There will be no offset. One reason he took the deal and found it attractive
    • MetsWatchman December 5, 2012 at 6:23 pm

      I don’t believe that. It defies all business logic. Please show me your sources.
• Mikieboy's Blue December 5, 2012 at 4:36 pm

  Mariners will cut Bay in the spring…
• tlagee December 5, 2012 at 4:37 pm

  I wish Bay all the luck in the world. He couldn’t do it for us – but that doesn’t mean he didn’t want to. He was always professional and never came up with excuses. He was the first to say how much he sucked and how disappointed he was.

  If he does revert back to his old self then good on him. He wasn’t going to do it for the Mets.

  Wow, another $1 million for the Mets to spend! Thanks, Mariners.
• Just-Da-Damaja December 5, 2012 at 4:53 pm

  If anything remembers…I said that Bay and Seattle would be a good match…

  lo and behold….
• Metsie December 5, 2012 at 6:52 pm

  LOL the big part of the Allure to Bay was they were willing to waste a roster spot on him!

  The fact he’s closer to Canada is not it because he had no other choice except maybe a canadian bar league!
• DaveNYUpstate December 5, 2012 at 7:14 pm

  It’s not like we didn’t give Bay a chance. He was simply, AWFUL. So bad, that Seattle is giving him less than $1 million. It’s a sneeze to be subtracted from the amount the Mets owe his sorry ass.

  Bay probably left his game in all those walls he hit playing for us. What was his major concussion count while he played for us – two or three? That first one did him in – the one where we flew him back from the West Coast right after he went down. Bet he wishes he’d taken the train home and hadn’t let Jerry push him back on the field so quick before he finally stayed out that year.

  If Jason does come back with Seattle it could be an indication that playing in Citi Field did mess up his mechanics. The problem might be, however, that the mechanics might not ever return to the way they once were.

  We will have to see during spring training what the reports are. Wishing Jason well and no hard feelings about it not working out here.
