The market for Jason Bay got smaller when the Mariners acquired Milton Bradley yesterday, and now it appears the Mets are bidding against themselves for the free agent outfielder, writes Ken Davidoff of Newsday. John Harper of The NY Daily News says that Bay and his agent Joe Urbon continue to stall for five years, however they're running out of leverage according to The NY Post's Bart Hubbuch.
ESPN's Buster Olney hears that the Mets "are convinced they are the lone big-money bidder on Bay," though Davidoff points out that New York's other team was supposed to hear something yesterday, but didn't. If any other club has interest in adding Bay's stick to their lineup, I'd say they've done a fine job of keeping it quiet.
