Mike Lowell to Stay in Boston

Well it's true, he loves Red Sox Nation. Mike Lowell will sign on the dotted line if he hasn't already, and the deal is a sweet one: $37.5 million for three years. Lowell did have four year deals from other ball clubs, but clearly his heart is in Boston.

Curt Schilling wrote on his blog 38pitches.com today, "How cool is that? Leaving years and dollars on the table to come back here for three more years, good stuff. Pretty nice to think you are fans in a town that is now a desired destination for athletes across the major sports. Come a long way for sure. Congrats to Mike, and I've already spoken with a few guys on the team and suffice to say, we're all ecstatic."

As I have said in previous entries, Mr. Lowell is well respected by teammates, management, and fans alike; he provides leadership qualities that are well utilized in the Red Sox Clubhouse.
