Jason Bay says he hasn't filed any official paperwork yet but that he doesn't see a scenario in which he plays next season, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca. Bay had been considering an off from a Japanese team, previously speculated to be the Yomiuri Giants, but has decided to focus on his family instead. If Bay has played his final game, the outfielder will finish with a .266/.360/.481 career line and 222 home runs in parts of 11 seasons. The 35-year-old spent 2013 with the Mariners before being released in August.

Greg Johns of MLB.com hears that Jason Bay could sign with the Yomiuri Giants of Japan's Central League. Bay was released by the Mariners in August after he batted just .204/.298/.393 over 236 plate appearances. The 35-year-old is unlikely to find a guaranteed deal in the states at this point in his career, but he is apparently getting some interest overseas.

Jason Bay is unsure whether he'll play in 2014. Bay was released by the Mariners in August after he batted just .204/.298/.393 over 236 plate appearances. The 35-year-old would likely have to settle for a spring training invite, so it might not be worth his while.

Mariners released OF Jason Bay. Bay passed through waivers after being designated for assignment by the Mariners last week. The 34-year-old outfielder batted .204/.298/.393 in 236 plate appearances with Seattle. He'll attempt to latch on elsewhere.

Mariners designated OF Jason Bay for assignment. Bay entered play Monday sporting a .204/.298/.393 batting line in 236 plate appearances with Seattle. He has displayed some power this year, but the Mariners grew tired of the inconsistency. Bay, 34, signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the M's in early December.

Jason Bay homered and walked three times against the Cubs on Friday. Bay is batting just .220, but he has nine homers and 25 walks in 173 at-bats, making him a fairly productive outfielder for the Mariners. The only reason he hasn't played much of late is that he's dealing with a hamstring injury.

Jason Bay said Thursday that his tight hamstring feels "10 times better" and he expects to return in a day or two. Bay hadn't played since his hammy tightened up on in during Sunday's game. The Mariners don't face a lefty until next Tuesday, so they can afford to use Bay only off the bench for a few more days if they want.

Jason Bay is nursing a sore hamstring. Bay normally would have started Monday against Angels lefty Jason Vargas, but he felt his hamstring tighten up during Sunday's game. "He got a little knot in there," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "We got him out here early and tried to have him run a little bit, but we talked about it and felt we'd be putting him in harm's way." Bay is considered day-to-day.

Jason Bay hit a pair of solo homers in Saturday's loss to the Twins. Well, how about that. Bay now has eight home runs through 117 at-bats this season. It's worth noting that David Wright is the only Mets' player with a higher OPS than Bay (.822) this season. The 34-year-old outfielder might not be relevant in mixed fantasy leagues again, but the change of scenery has worked out pretty well for him so far.

Jason Bay went 2-for-3 and hit a walkoff single in the 13th inning of Sunday's win against the Rangers. Bay didn't start, but remained in the game after pinch-running for Michael Morse in the ninth inning. With Michael Saunders struggling, the Mariners have been using Bay in their leadoff spot against left-handed pitching. Bay is batting .245/.353/.408 through his first 36 games this season.
