Report: Lowell Trade Creeping Forward

According to the Boston Globe, Mike Lowell's trade to the Texas Rangers appears to be moving toward competition. It will be interesting to see how long this drags on because I honestly can't remember any trade taking this long to complete. The longer it takes, the more you wonder if there is a serious problem with Lowell's thumb. It also brings another scenario into play: What if the trade doesn't happen? Lowell will come back, and despite his reputation as a pro's pro, what will his demenor be like? He would likely continue to play third, but rotations with Youk could impact Youk's overall fielding at both first and third. We'll keep an eye on the situation and provide updates as they happen.
