Yankees Make a 4 Year Offer to Lowell

WBZTV in Boston has confirmed that the Yankees have offered Mike Lowell a 4 year deal worth about $20 million more than the 3 year deal the Red Sox have offered. It also looks like the Phillies have pulled out of the race. The decision is now up to Mike; do you want to stay in Boston and play third or chase the cash like Damon and move across the diamond. As much as I like Lowell and what he has done for the Sox I don't think he should be signed for more than 3 years. But he would be a great fit for 3. Lowell spent the day in Pinecrest, Florida visiting his elementary school, did he make a stop in Tampa to visit the Death Star? He was wearing a Red Sox shirt when he visited the school so he has not gone over to the dark side yet.
