The New York Mets and Jason Bay agreed to terminate their contract a year early, a deal that makes the outfielder a free agent and allows the team to spread out the remaining $21 million it owes him.
The 34-year-old Bay was a major disappointment in New York after signing a $65 million, four-year deal before the 2010 season. The three-time All-Star hit .234 in three injury-plagued seasons with 26 homers and 124 RBIs, including a .165 average with eight homers and 20 RBIs this year.
