The Boston Red Sox just signed Mike Lowell to a 3 year deal worth $37.5 Million.  The word around Boston is that Jon Henry gave Mike a call the other night and convinced Mike to re-sign for less money and less years than what was offered by other teams.  I personally really like this deal as they are keeping him at a price that makes sense for the Red Sox.  Lets see if we can now work out a trade with Coco Crisp to bring in an arm like Santana from the Twins.

“Lowell followed a superlative regular season — career highs in batting average (.324) and RBIs (120) to go with 21 home runs in 154 games — with an outstanding October. In Boston’s four-game sweep of Colorado, Lowell hit .400 (6-for-15) with four RBIs, three walks and a team-high six runs in winning the World Series.” (ESPN.com)

We won the World Series and now it is time to prepare for next season and hope to repeat as World Series Champions.  So far this off-season we re-signed Schilling to a deal that I really like.  It gives Schilling a base salary that he desires and a ton on incentives which will help drive him to preform at a high level.  As of right now, Mike Lowell is still a free agent and we still will not budge from the 3 year offer.  With A-Rod now off the market I wouldnt be surprised it Mike resigns in a couple weeks to a three year deal with the Red Sox.  On another note I would really like to see them re-sign Gagne and give him another shot which I think he deserves.  Mark my words that if we re-sign him, he will not disappoint and will have a monster year to prove everyone wrong.  I will update when we make some moves and give my take.  In the mean time enjoy watching the Pats & Celtices dominate.  Boston= Title Town.
