UPDATE: The talks were not productive and the Red Sox have chosen to wait until after the season to negotiate with Bay.
The Red Sox and Jason Bay’s agent talked about an extension during the All-Star break. The two sides are still not close but are both willing to work for a deal during the second half of the season. The Red Sox really need to keep his bat and he will be among the best free agents available in the offseason, so it is likely that he gets locked up before the end of the season to avoid a bidding war with teams like the Yankees.
