From Sports Illustrated:World Series MVP Mike Lowell is staying with the Boston Red Sox, meaning the reigning champions will try to repeat with all their key players from 2007.
The Red Sox and their popular third baseman reached a preliminary agreement Monday on a three-year, $37.5 million contract, according to two people familiar with the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been finalized.
Team spokesman John Blake declined comment.
In the three weeks since winning their second championship in four seasons, the Red Sox have re-signed their two biggest free agents, Lowell and pitcher Curt Schilling, and picked up options on Tim Wakefield and Julian Tavarez.
Lowell, a 33-year-old third baseman who made $9 million this season, was seeking four guaranteed years and might have gotten it elsewhere...
FINALLY!
In other sports, the Patriots won again in an unfortunate blow-out against Buffalo. The Celtics finally lost a game, and the Revolution are four for four in the MLS final - four losses in a row. Still, if they keep getting there, maybe they'll win one.
Finally i heard about it on the radio going home after school and was just absolutely thrilled!!!11
ReplyDeletei think i see a repeat on the way.
I think we have a real shot at a repeat. If they get the pitching lined up, and if JD Drew has a better season offensively, we should be in great shape to win it all again.
