Mets part ways with Jason Bay-15 million is deferred must be paid by 2015 post #92

[mets100%]

Great News. Now we have to sign an Outfielder.

Hopefully this frees up a little extra cash to spend on an OF or a catcher. Napoli, Victorino or Bourn?

Good job Sandy/Wilpons!!!

Haven't been able to say that in a while!!!!

I want to know about the deferred money.

[Metsfan1963]

Good move. Talking about his money being deferred, which could mean along with not having him being a sink hole on the 25 man roster, they could have a little more money to spend this off season.

and the Jason Bay era ends. Worst signing in team history.

Wow.. I'm surprised but quite pleased at the same time. It had to be done, now it's time to move on from the horrible Minaya contracts and start fresh

[Claymation]

I still think Oliver Perez was worse.

[MetsFanatic19]

Much respect for Sandy gained. He will forever be known as the on who had the balls to cut the hideous Jason Bay.



**** YES!!

#BayWatch is no more.

I don't give a **** about this move until I find out how this $ situation is going to work out...what a snake I can't believe he took his full money.

Yea, what a great guy.

[Claymation]

He's not stupid, he is owed that money because the contract was fully guaranteed.

[MetsLegacy]

$3.3M every year starting from 2020-2050 sounds like something the Mets would do.

DPLennon #Mets anxiously looked ahead to day when Bay and Santana were off books. One down - partly -- one to go.

Have to figure it frees up some money for 2013. The Mets gave him all the money, and allowed Bay the whole off season to find a team to let him play in 2013, so I'm sure in return he deferred a nice chuck of his 2013 money.
