Mets Get Canadian

The New York Mets limped to a 70-92 finish on the weakened stock of Americans and Dominicans who just couldn't stay healthy. In an obvious move to toughen the team up, the Mets brought in an enforcer who is not afraid to drop the gloves. Pending the results of his physical, Jason Bay will be patrolling left field for the Mets after coming to terms on a 4 year, $66 million contract with easily attainable incentives that would drive the contract to 5 years and around $80 million. Passing the physical is apparently not a given as the Red Sox had serious concerns about the health of Bay's surgically repaired shoulder and his aging knees. Obviously the Mets with their ace training staff will be able to keep Bay healthy for the next 4 or 5 years, right? Right? Fuck.
