It’s a very light link day in relation to the Boston Red Sox as the eyes of RSN are on Mike Lowell and where he will end up. It seems as though the only two offers on the table are from the Red Sox and our rivals to the south in the Bronx. The Yankees want Lowell to be their first baseman while obviously the Sox want him to play third. The Red Sox offer is 3-yrs $36-39 million while the Yankees are offering 4-yrs at $52 million. This makes the decision even harder I am sure for Lowell because that’s a lot of money to leave on the table. In other Red Sox free agent news, Matt Clement is drawing interest from the Padres and Diamondbacks and the Red Sox are still interested in re-signing Doug Mirabelli.
