Supposedly the Braves offered 4 years to Lowe, so the Mets backed off and offered 3 years to Oliver Perez.

I really don't see why they are so reluctant to give 4 years to Lowe. I get that the age is a factor, but christ. When they gave Pedro 4 years, they knew full well of the fact that he would be injured. At least Lowe has been healthy his entire career. Lowe is just a million times more consistent than Ollie.

Not to mention, there's no way Boras is gonna allow Perez to accept a 3 year deal...because I'm sure Boras can find a mystery team at the last second to force the Mets to pony up a 4th year.

The only way I'll be happy bringing the inconsistent Oliver Perez back is if they also take a chance on Ben Sheets. I can live with Santana-Sheets-Pelfrey-Perez-Maine, even though Sheets will be injured.
