The Mets are reportedly close to signing free agent pitcher Derek Lowe. Earlier in the offseason when analyzing the Mets starting pitching, I hoped they would sign Lowe.
The deal is expected to be for 3-4 years at $14-16 million per season.
The market for Lowe had been slow because he is represented by super agent Scott Boras. Once Boras completed negotiations with the Yankees for Mark Teixiera (8 years, $180 million), talks about Lowe were able to become more serious.
The Red Sox appear to be the only other team seriously considering Lowe.
Negotiations will be put on hold for the Christmas holiday, but the deal could be done by New Year's day.
