Not sure how this trade works out cause Lee has an opt out possibility that would interfere with the cash but it's probably time for SF to start trying to get out from under some of those large contracts, with that being such a large park it would make sense to target speed to cover some of those spacious dimensions, Bush and Santana are both elite defenders with great range, both have been developing well as hitters that would rack up a huge amount of stolen bases and create havoc on the bases.
There's little chance that Lee opts out after next year based on his body of work to date, so I wouldn't worry about that. The bigger question is whether the Rays are improved by adding someone like Lee. He has a weak-ish bat, averaging only 102 wRC+ in the Majors. He grades poorly in the field though, so it's not like he's a defense first outfielder. He's just a guy, and an overpaid guy at that. I'd pass on this trade personally, particularly with the prospects being given up (ie: high upside prospects).
I think if you get him out of the spacious park and put him with a team that knows how to get the most out of a role player he could succeed, in Tampa I could see him getting to the mid teens in homers and his hit tool might improve as well, i think the numbers breakdown to like 3.5 yrs at $35m ballpark, not a super horrible risk, towards the end if he hadn't improved they could always find a package to get rid of him but SF just seems like a park where hitters go to die
