Jason Bay, OF, Free AgentHot off the Wire Fantasy Sports NewsGiants | Haven't contacted Holliday or Bay The San Francisco Chronicle's Henry Schulman reports the San Francisco Giants haven't contacted the agents for OF Matt Holliday (Cardinals) or OF Jason Bay (Red Sox). Giants | Unlikely to pursue Bay, Holliday Chris Haft, of MLB.com, reports the San Francisco Giants are unlikely to pursue free-agent OFs Jason Bay (Red Sox) and Matt Holliday (Cardinals), according to general manager Brian Sabean. "And I don't think that they would have genuine interest based on the field that they're going to be involved in," Sabean added. "Why would they?" Blue Jays | Expected to pursue Bay Michael Silverman, of the Boston Herald, reports the Toronto Blue Jays are expected to be interested in signing free-agent OF Jason Bay (Red Sox). Angels | Bay could be a possibility Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi, of FOXSports.com, report the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are not ruling out the possibility of pursuing free-agent OF Jason Bay (Red Sox), according to owner Arte Moreno. Red Sox | Bay rejects first offer Matt Pepin, of The Boston Globe, reports free-agent OF Jason Bay (Red Sox) rejected the Boston Red Sox's initial offer, according to SI.com's Jon Heyman.

Cardinals | Bay not a priority The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Joe Strauss reports St. Louis Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said free-agent OF Jason Bay (Red Sox) isn't on the team's list of top priorities.

Giants | Big signing will be tough ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney reports if the San Francisco Giants were to sign a player like OF Jason Bay (Red Sox) to a four-year, $64 million deal, the team would owe Bay, SP Barry Zito and OF Aaron Rowand $46 million annually for the next three years.

Red Sox | Staying in contact with Bay Alden Gonzalez, of MLB.com, reports the Boston Red Sox are keeping in close contact with free-agent OF Jason Bay (Red Sox) during the offseason, according to his representative, Joe Urbon.

Red Sox | Unlikely to give Bay five years Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi, of FOXSports.com, report the Boston Red Sox are unlikely to offer free-agent OF Jason Bay (Red Sox) a five-year deal. However, they could go to $65 million to $70 million over four years.

Mariners | In market for Bay Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi, of FOXSports.com, report the Seattle Mariners will at least "kick the tires" on the free-agent market for free-agent OF Jason Bay (Red Sox), according to one major league source.

Red Sox | Bay looking for at least four years The Boston Herald's Michael Silverman reports Boston Red Sox OF Jason Bay is believed to be looking for a minimum contract of four years guaranteed, with a preference for five.
