From Dan Roche of WBZ in Boston:
Mike Lowell has a major decision to make.
WBZ’s Dan Roche has confirmed the free agent third baseman has drastically different offers from the Red Sox and the Yankees on the table.
Roche has learned the Red Sox have a firm offer of a three-year contract worth $36-to-$40 million.
The Yankees have offered the World Series MVP a four-year deal, worth $56-to-$60 million, according to Roche. But they would like him to play first base, if they re-sign Alex Rodriguez to play third.
Well as we have heard throughout the day today, most of the reports of the other teams giving him 4-year deals were not true. So you have to wonder how true this report really is.
If this report is true, that is a huge difference in salary, 4 years at $14-15 million or 3 years at $12-13 million. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that the Yankees deal is better. Or is this a case of the Yankees getting back at the Red Sox for driving up the price of Bernie Williams contract way back when?
