It has to be the most important issue for the Red Sox to deal with as they reconfigure the 2009 team for the 2010 season. Will they re-sign Jason Bay?
Bay has stated that he would like to stay in a Red Sox uniform, but he does want to test the free agent waters. He & his agent should field a number of offers from a number of teams. Bay put together his 4th 30+ homers, 100+ RBI season with the Red Sox. His numbers tailed off dramatically in the 2nd half, but Bay still put together an impressive offensive season.
In a year where the Red Sox offense sputtered a lot the Boston brass can ill-afford to lose Bay to another contender like New York, Tampa Bay or the Angels. It will be interesting to see the length of contract & dollars offered by the Sox to keep Bay in Boston.
The Bay situation is the first issue that has to be resolved in this off season.
