Derek Lowe To The Yankees?

Jon Heyman on his blog at SI.com, has the Yankees inching closer to adding Derek Lowe to their rotation, only hours after they agreed to a contract with C.C. Sabathia. The Yankees' new rotation is starting to take shape as they are also in serious negotiations with free-agent Derek Lowe. An agreement with Lowe appears likely to be finalized in coming days, as well. The sides were discussing a contract for four years and about $66 million late Tuesday. The Mets considered themselves suiters for the services of Derek Lowe, but were scared off by his contract demands. If the numbers are true, and the Yankees get Lowe, they would have spent almost $250 million dollars in the last 24 hours as compared to $37 million dollars by the Mets. The projected Yankees rotation would look like this. 1. C.C. Sabathia 2. Chien-Ming Wang 3. Derek Lowe 4. Joba Chamberlain 5. Phil Hughes (or A.J Burnett who they are meeting with today.)
