ESPN Report
ESPN radio says that Buster Olney, of ESPN.com, is reporting that the Red Sox are close to re-signing Mike Lowell. Now take that for what it is worth as I have been up and down ESPN.com and cannot find a link. Olney's daily report is from Sunday, so I am guessing when they update to today's report, we will see something.
Extra reading. I found this on ESPN.com and hadn't seen it. This bond might explain the reason Boston exercized teh option on Tavarez. Tavarez is one of a kind...

Update: Olney apparently said on ESPN Radio that Lowell is close to signing a 3 year, $36mm deal from the Red Sox. I'll believe it when I see (read) it. If this ends up being true, it explains why guys like Theo Epstein, Jed Hoyer and Ben Cherington are making baseball decisions and not us. Also, Olney's blog is now updated to reflect the Red Sox/Mike Lowell situation.
