ESPN.com reports that the New York Mets may be the only ones bidding on Jason Bay’s services:

• John Harper of the Daily News wrote Friday that the Mets continue to feel that they don’t need to significantly improve their offer of four years for approximately $65 million to Jason Bay. That would change only if the Mets are convinced Bay has another interested party.
• The Mariners were to believed to be interested in Bay.
• Ken Davidoff of Newsday writes today that “if there is another team in the running to sign Bay, that team has done an excellent job of keeping its interest quiet.”
• Some executives with teams that had past interest think the Mets are on an island with their offer.
• Bay’s agent, Joe Urbon, says Bay would prefer to sign outside of Boston.
