News of an offer to free-agent outfielder Jason Bay dominated headlines on Thursday, but the Mets also extended an offer to veteran Bengie Molina. New York offered Bay $65 million over four years and the offer to Molina is expected to be much less. Molina, who would fill a major hole for the Mets, hit .265 with 20 homers and 80 RBIs this year for San Francisco.
