Mets extend contract offer to Lowe

Those rumors were try my friends. The Mets have interest in pitcher Derek Lowe, and have even made an offer to the 35 year older righthander.

Lowe, who most recently was an LA Dodger, looks like he probably will end up a Met. Lets just hope we don't get any "surprise teams" who swoop in and take him.


The offer
The Mets put an offer of $36 million over 3 years.

The reaction
Many say this was a "low ball" offer, and that the Mets will eventually have throw in more cash.


BOTTOM LINE: Lowe and a 5th starter would sure up this rotation.
