I think you should sign Lowell too. But the newest WS MVP also has a say in that, and it's his thoughts that count. I'm hearing he's pretty adamant on a 4 year deal and that the Sox might not be willing to commit for that long on a 33 year old guy coming off his career year. Remember, it was only two years ago that Lowell hit .236 with 8 HR and had something like 50 rbi while playing 150 games.
One thing to give you guys hope--I know his agent, Seth Levinson, from the days I practiced law in Brooklyn. Seth's a Mets fan
Unfortunately, find another good free agent third baseman--you'd have to look long and hard. If Lowell leaves--what's the solution? It's either a) get involved in the A-Rod courtship, b) trade for one (and that means giving up some young talent) or c) sign or trade for a first baseman. Choice c) might be your best option.
