The Jason Bay Lottery is now officially over. Yesterday, the New York Mets signed the free agent All-Star left fielder to a 4-year, $66 million deal, with a 5th year vesting option that could bring the total package to over $80 million.

In the meantime, the Red Sox signed outfield veteran free agent Mike Cameron to replace him defensively.
