Four or five years for Bay?

The Mets are in “serious” talks for Jason Bay, according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi.

The Mets are contemplating adding a fifth year to the original four-year, $65 million offer.  They may also sign him for four years but more money.

I’d much rather see the Mets dip into the pocket and get Bay to sign for more money and a shorter contract.  I think the Mets have the money to spend and would rather see the Mets on the hook for the 31-year-old Bay for a shorter amount of time.

But how do you feel?  Take the poll below…
