So Long and Thanks for All the Fish.

Mike Francesa had it on his show (and Heyman confirmed) that Jason Bay is a physical shy of spending the next four years in Queens. Poor Jason. I'm glad he got his money but to have to play for the Mets is just tragic. I am glad that he didn't end up with the Yankees, though. That would have sucked.

Meanwhile, Josh Bard has signed a minor-league deal with Bay's supposed dream destination, the Seattle Mariners. With their catching situation the way it is (Johjima has gone back to Japan; Rob Johnson has had four surgeries this off-season, and has a below average bat and is, at best, an average defensive catcher; and baby catcher Adam Moore has a grand total of six major league games) maybe he gets a chance out there. Seattle is building an interesting team.
