Mets Make Offer to Lowe
The New York Mets have made an initial offer to free agent pitcher Derek Lowe. According to John Harper of the NY Daily News, the club has presented a three-year offer worth slightly more than $36 milllion. Sources say the Mets don't want to go beyond three years, although a fourth-year option is still a possibility. Harper goes on to discuss the recent trade rumors regarding Andruw Jones. While the Mets aren't anxious to take on Jones, they might be willing to do so if they could unload Luis Castillo on the Dodgers.
