Update – 2:06 p.m.: Ben Shpigel and David Lennon both confirm that offers are going out to Bay and Molina.
Original Post: As Steve Popper tweeted earlier, the Mets were planning on making offers to two players before leaving the meetings. According to Mike Francesa on WFAN, the Mets will make offers to Jason Bay and Bengie Molina.
“I know these deals are going out today,” Francesa said on WFAN, citing his sources.
We all knew Molina was coming. Bay is the surprising one, especially with Matt Holliday still on the market.
For Bay, is this negotiating with intent to sign him, leverage for Holliday, a play for another team to chase Bay now? It could be any of those or many more.
