Fox Sport's Ken Rosenthal has the latest on Derek Lowe, Manny Ramirez, A.J. Burnett and the Mets looking for a right hand hitting outfielder.
Rosenthal says that Derek Lowe is attracting a lot of teams. Though Boras has made clear that he wants a "Zito type contract" for Lowe services. Barry Zito's contract was for 7 years, $126 Million.
Rosenthal also said that Boras is looking for a six year deal for Manny Ramirez's services..Even though everyone has said he would not get that.
The Red Sox appear to be interested in A.J. Burnett, who the Yankees will be apparently offering him 5 years, 80 Million. It appears that the Red Sox will like to give less years and more money per year. The Red Sox will not get into a bidding war for Burnett with the Yankees and would bow out gracefully if it got out of hand..
The Mets not only are looking for a closer and someone to replace Oliver Perez, they are looking for a right handed bat in the outfield. The Mets have no interest in Burrell and they have not interest in Ibanez because he is left handed bat.
