And bonuses for meeting certain weight limits? Who cares if he is fat - if he can pitch.

He actually added the weight clause in there (As an incentive, or so claimed whatever interview I saw at 'way the hell too' early this morning).

Hope we resign Lowell. A-rod can stick it where the sun doesn't shine. I remember when A-Rod and Tek got into it. Fans dont forget. Hope the clown signs with a NL team so I dont have to hear about him anymore.

I hope A-Roid gets left out in the cold.. All the teams should say "we don't have that kind of money" and just pass on him..

He can't play if he doesn't have a team... That sorry sack-o-*****

I would hate to see A-Rod in a Red Sox uniform. I hate that guy. It was a lot of fun watching them play this year as a "band of brothers". He could never fit into that role.

Looks like the Saawx have offered Lowell 3 years...about 15 million a year??? Will that get the job done??? I think someone will offer him 4 years at 15 million per...in that case...bye bye Mike... ...!!!

Who is the replacement if he goes??? Florida is shopping Cabrera...doesn't sound like the price is ridiculous...he can't be a free agent for two more years. What do YOU think???

this isnt going as well as planned......lowell was already making like 11 or 12 miilion, doesnt sound like much of an increase for the w.s. mvp.

i guess its better than the 30+ million arod will get per season

I think he actually made just under 10 last season. How far do you go with a guy who is 33/34 years old??? If he goes...and he would be nuts not to go if someone offers him an extra guaranteed year...just like Martinez and Damon...Cabrera would be a great option...still young...relatively cheap...decent defensive player...better than Lowell offensively...and locked up for two more years. Would give some of your minor league talent time to grow into the majors.
