A Graphic Look at Josh Reddick vs this Offseason’s FA - Beyond the Box Score

Why can’t the Red Sox get cheap productive players like this?

As the A’s go into their 40th game, and close to the quarter mark of the season. how does Josh Reddick compare to other OF options the A’s could have possibly gone after this offseason?

At the league minimum, he’s been an incredible bargain; a steal. Carlos Beltran and Michael Cuddyer weren’t in the range in terms of salary, but I had thought Josh Willingham was not only a decent gamble, but fan favorite. Using Fangraphs Dollars metric, Reddick’s production is currently worth $7.2 M in FA.
