Part 7/12:
Gian Bay was claimed off waivers from the Pirates. Primarily an outfielder with limited Major League success, Bay was noted for his athleticism and contact ability at the AAA level. However, Wardy voices concerns about Bay’s past, notably a suspension during 2018 or 2019 due to a domestic dispute involving physical altercations.
While acknowledging that players can learn and grow from mistakes, Wardy criticizes the Mets for bringing in Bay, deeming the signing “pointless,” especially given the history. He urges fans to consider both athletic potential and off-field issues when evaluating roster additions and stresses that such moves might cause more negative press than positive.
