The Bottom Line — ... and Ben Sheets this offseason. Like Smoltz and Penny in 2009, any one of these guys will likely sign a 1-year deal between $5M and $10M. In my chart, I assume that the Sox will sign one of these guys to add some depth to the rotation and plugged in $7M for salary. That leaves us with Jason Bay. As the chart indicates above, the Red Sox will hit the $120M without giving Bay a nickle. Theo Epstein will have to decide if he's willing to go beyond the $122M he spent in 2009 if he wants to keep Bay in Boston. The Sox spent $143+ in 2007 and won the World Series. They spent ...
