Bay is a pretty curious option. We could probably get him for fairly cheap, something like Reddick + Bowden + take on 60% of his remaining salary. The guy mashed at Fenway, and with this line up, he could be beastly again.
If we picked him up on July 31, that would leave a total of $54.33 over 2 months this year, and 3 years following. If the Sox picked up 60 - 70% of Bay's salary, they could have him at a total cost of $32.6 - $38mm over 3.33 years. It would definitely be a gamble. Stick Bay in LF, put Crawford in RF where his defense becomes better utilized.
It's worth at least looking into.
