Buzz: Mets Could Move On From Jason Bay
According to Roger Rubin of the Daily News, a baseball official says he “wouldn’t be surprised if the Mets move on soon” from Jason Bay.
…if that’s the case, i think that’s a wise decision…as Matt said yesterday, at this point the Mets really need to separate themselves altogether from Bay and look to fill the need in some other way…
Rubin says the priority continues to be inproving the lineup, but they could look to add a second left handed pitcher to the bullpen later in the off season.
…for the entire winter, i have not understood the club’s reasoning to pursue offense first over pitching…i very much understand the problem in left field and behind the plate, but if their key players are healthy, their offense should be good enough that they don’t need to make such a commitment to a not-so-great player like Bay and they can fill their offensive needs with players who do the little things well…i would only say deviate from pitching as the priority when there is exceptional talent available, and i believe a guy like Matt Holliday is one of those exceptions…
