Mets Will Platoon Jason Bay, Won't Release Him With $16M Owed In 2013

Aug 08, 2012 8:07 AM EST

The Mets will use Jason Bay as a platoon player and general manager Sandy Alderson says the team has no plans to part ways with him.

Bay has one more season at $16 million remaining in his four-year, $66 million deal.

"Certainly, there are times when it is appropriate to eat a contract," Alderson said.

"There are other times when it is not. Jason Bay is not going anywhere, nor is his contract."

Bay will predominately play against left-handed pitching during the rest of the season.
