Fenway Fables

The Red Sox brought back their third baseman as Mike Lowell has apparantly agreed to a three year deal worth somewhere in the high $30 million range.  Lowell had a huge season in 2007 and that carried over into the playoffs when he won the World Series MVP award.

It’s a solid move although you have to be concerned about Lowell’s age.  Throw in the fact that he’s had some pretty mediocre years and this deal could backfire but my guess is Lowell will be motivated to help the Red Sox get back to the postseason next year.
