Bay Hard With a Vengeance

More Jason Bay.  I thought that was over.

In a surprising twist, the Pirates and Cleveland Indians revived talks at the Opryland Hotel late last night and developed a framework for a five-player trade, Bay and catcher Ronny Paulino going to Cleveland for outfielder Franklin Gutierrez, catcher Kelly Shoppach and either starter Cliff Lee or a minor-league pitching prospect.

The deal is not done. The sides are expected to continue talking late this morning.

Mark, don't panic just because Detroit made ESPN talking heads freak out.  I was liking that Lee to St. Louis for Reyes/Anderson deal better.
