Red Sox Nation -Check In

I can't believe that they are poised to let Jason Bay walk. Considering what they pay JD Drew, to let Bay go for a few million is insanity. I know they are saying it's all about the years, but really doesn't an extra year simply translate to some money? Witness the dough they are throwing away to get rid of Mike Lowell, (a move I will never understand - he can play first and he can DH). I know it's still early in the hot stove season , but I'm concerned.

John Lackey is taking a physical right now, a deal might be close

It's not the money it's the years. The Sox were willing to pay 60 mil for four years. Bays agent broke it off he wants 5 years, Bays a good player but not a great player, A average left fielder at best, he hit a career high 36 homers Fenway Park was kind to him.
I hate to see him go , but Cameron age 36 will be a upgrade defensively,and still has some pop in his bat?
Theo is not done yet something still has to be done in the infield ?

I'm feeling more optimistic after signing Lackey. I don't know about Cameron .... still think they should have kept Bay. Now for an infielder ....

Cameron hits lefty's very well, and most likely will split time with Jeremy Hermida that they got from the Marlins?
