ESPN.com: Lowell deal nearly done
Nov 19th, 2007 by Bill Burt
As expected, when the N.Y. Yankees dropped out of the Mike Lowell Lottery, the Red Sox appear to be close with a three-year deal for the third baseman according to ESPN.com’s Buster Olney.
The Red Sox have not budged from their original three-year deal. The only question became money. Would the Red Sox budge from their $37.5 million (estimate) offer? Well apparently they did, moving the deal closer to $40 million.
This will obviously be met with cheers. Lowell was the prize this off-season. Other than a bullpen pitcher or two, including a left-hander, everything else in place for next season.
We will be updating as more news comes forward.
I’m waiting to hear from a “friend” of Lowell’s to try and get some specifics not yet reported.
Stay tuned …
