News: Lowell officially signs
The Red Sox have issued a press release to announce the signing of 3B Mike Lowell to a three-year deal, details have not yet been disclosed.
…no real surprise here, been hearing about it for a few days now, i’ll update with official contract info as soon as i have it…
Update: Rotoworld.com is reporting that the deal is three-years for $37.5 million which he accepted despite an apparent last minute offer from the Phillies of $50 million over four-years.
…the part about the phillies is interesting, they were denying interest in lowell the entire time. if that offer was actually on the table, then lowell must have had a real desire to stay in boston, and i’m glad he did. this should appease the red sox fans as Theo Epstein and company got this one right…
