ESPN's Peter Gammons reported that while Lowell's agents brothers Seth and Sam Levinson have remained in touch with the Yankees, several sources indicated that they are now inclined to use Shelley Duncan and Jason Giambi at first rather than lure Lowell from the Red Sox and move him across the diamond.
The New York Daily News also reported that according to sources, a Boston-area TV report the Yankees had offered Lowell a four-year deal worth between $50 million and $55 million to play first was "pure fantasy" -- and that the Yankees were not interested in a major investment in another first baseman.
The Red Sox have reportedly offered Lowell a three-year offer worth between $35 million and $45 million. [READ] |
