Mets get Bay, Minaya responds to my cruel Photoshop

WFAN’s Mike Fancesa reports the “major” news for the Mets is they have agreed in principle to a four-year, $66 million contract with Jason Bay plus an easy vesting option for a fifth year.

He still has to take a physical, but if all goes well he’ll be a Met by early next week, Francesa said.

CLEARLY, this is just an act of getting back at me for the mean Photoshop I posted a few days ago (sarcasm). So can the Mets contend with the Phillies now? I don’t think so with their pitching staff the way it is now.

By the way, this move affects the Yankees too. Now Johnny Damon has one less suitor. Despite what Brian Cashman is saying about keeping a lower payroll, it’s still possible a deal could happen. Possible, but unlikely.
