Sports Thread #1 For 12/29/09: Jason Bay Is Now A Met

On a brick cold day in New York City, a signing that will warm all Mets' fans hearts.
The Mets have agreed to terms on a four-year, $66 million contract with free-agent outfielder Jason Bay, pending a physical, according to several media outlets. The pact would include a vesting option for 2014.
It will be quiet a feat if Bay somehow comes close to his 36 home run, 119 RBI total at Bailout Field's spacious death valleys all over the field. I hope he has talked to David Wright in full detail about his new home ballpark's characteristics. And let's not go there on how shaky he is defensively.

Still, it is a big signing for the other baseball team in New York. And it is a fine close to a forgettable 2009 for them.
