04:53 PM ET 12.04 | According to Mike Salk of ESPN radio in Seattle, the Mariners are nearing a dealwith free agent outfielder Jason Bay. Bay was bought out by the New York Mets earlier in the off-season after an extremely disappointing season and an underwhelming run in the Big Apple. He's from British Columbia, so Seattle is about as close to home as he can possibly play and stay in the big leagues. He also attended college at Gonzaga. It makes sense for Seattle given their dire need for offense and it won't be much of a risk given that Bay is getting $21 million yet from the Mets. He figures to be a cheap sign.

The M's will never be a top notch team by "keeping their payroll down". Jason Bay is 34 years old and a .269 lifetime hitter!!!! Again, "how in the hell can Jason Bay help the Mariners"?????

Why can the A's finish ahead of the M's almost every year?? IMO, the M's need to go out and spend some big money for some "good" ballplayers, but again the players have to want to come to Seattle.

Sigh. I'm afraid I agree with you. If he recovers his batting stroke, he is an upgrade over their current RH OFs. And if he doesn't, well, he won't cost much. I was hoping for a little more, but it really is about a year early for a big push.

Good move if he takes it--I think he will bounce back from a career worst year.
