It looks like Pittsburgh is serious this time about trading Jason Bay. The BC native has been rumoured to be on the trading block before, but now the Cardinals and the D-Back’s look like the top contenders to acquire the outfielder.
I’m biased as a Cardinal fan to think that they have a good chance of getting him, although the sticking point in that trade will be Colby Rasmus. The up-and-coming outfielder has thought to be untouchable, but it seems that Bay is making the Cards reconsider. The D-Backs might have to give up their 2nd baseman prospect Bonifacio, but that could leave a big hole in the infield if current 2B Orlando Hudson leaves at the end of the year. Xavier Nady also appears to be on the way out of Pittsburgh, so he may factor into the decision making.
Let’s hope Bay can go to a team that appreciates him and can showcase his abilities to the rest of the league. He’s a strong player, one of the top Canadians in the league, and it would be great to see him on a contender.
