MLB Network's Peter Gammons reports that the Athletics are considering a trade offer from the Red Sox that includes outfielder Josh Reddick and prospects in exchange for closer Andrew Bailey. The proposal does not include Jed Lowrie. Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports that the A's also asked for third base prospect Will Middlebrooks, though the Red Sox are naturally reluctant to give him up in any deal. The identities of the other prospects in the proposal aren't yet clear, but Reddick would be an upgrade for an Oakland outfield that has the likes of Ryan Sweeney, Jermaine Mitchell and Jai Miller at the top of their depth chart.
