Nats acquire Olsen, Willingham from Florida

If he doesn't get Peavy and Demp is gone, he has to go after Burnett I think.

 

Either Burnett or Lowe.

I'd go real hard after Lowe regardless of what happens. I'm a big Lowe fan.

So would I, but I think Lowe is likely to head to either New York or prolly Boston if the Red Sox wants him.

Lowe will not be going back to Boston. It didn't work out too well for him the first time around.

The entire time he was in Boston the writers and fans questioned his "mental toughness". He was sent to the bullpen for a time and was pretty pissed about. The fact that he won a WS ring doesn't change any of that.

Pitched a no-hitter

Won a World Series

2 time All Star

Had both a 40 save season and a 20 win season

3rd in Cy Young in 2002

 

Productive pitcher for the Red Sox. He is very much still liked by both the team and the fans. So why wouldn't he want to go back to Boston?

Yeah, well wouldn't you be pissed if you were sent to the bullpen? The bullpen used to be a place where you sent starters who couldn't hack it, and Lowe felt he could still start. So his time in pen was spent well, seeing as he had a 40 save season, and 81 saves iin 3 seasons.

[Butterscup1679666578]

My dad is a Dodgers fan and he said he heard that Chicago is as far "west" as Lowe wants to be. I wouldn't mind taking a shot at him. Hell, if we get Peavy I'd have no problem signing him over Dempster.

He's just saying that Lowe was treated like crap by the Boston media, not that Lowe deserved it.

There were rumors in October that Boston was Lowe's preferred destination.
