Buzz: Red Sox Optimistic about Bay

by Michael Baron on October 30th, 2009 at 3:52 pm

Jon Heyman of SI.com believes that the Red Sox are willing to offer four years and $60 million to Jason Bay.

Heyman feels that figure is a bit short, given Bay’s stature as an established middle of the order hitter.

However, Heyman says that Bay’s agent, Joe Urbon, wouldn’t rule out the two sides making a deal in the Red Sox exclusive 15 day window following the World Series, and that “regionality” doesn’t factor in to where Bay lands.
