Agent: Bay turns down offer from Red Sox

Me thinketh KR speaketh too soon. Absolutely nothing new in this redundant post:

Agent: Bay turns down offer from Red Sox


Jason Bay's tenure with the Red Sox appears over.

The free agent-left fielder Jason Bay has rejected the team's latest offer and is entertaining better proposals from other clubs, according to his agent, Joe Urbon. "We don't agree with their evaluation of the player," Bay's agent, Joe Urbon said. "Frankly, we have other offers on the table that are of greater interest to Jason."

Urbon left open the possibility that the Red Sox could circle back in the negotiations, but did not sound optimistic that it would happen, saying Bay was prepared to "move on."

The Red Sox reportedly offered Bay a four-year, $60 million contract.

The Mets reportedly offered a four-year, $65 million deal, and the Angels and Mariners are among the other clubs showing interest.

"Jason Bay has rejected the team's latest offer..."


Uh, Kenny boy, I do believe that the Sox to date have made only 1 offer, so please tell the world how he could reject a 'latest offer.'
