It stands to reason that they might not have made that deal unless they are certain they can move Lowell...I was reading that at this point they will probably be willing to pay a good chunk of his salary (more than half) to get him off the roster.

Jerry Crasnick said he's heard whispers of a Luis Castillo-for-Mike Lowell deal, as Pedroia has been mulling over a move to shortstop.

Shit, I'd definitely take a majorly discounted Lowell as a platoon guy for Murphy...AND it gets Castillo off the books and gives the Mets a shot to bring in Hudson. I like it.

Wait, scratch that. I forgot the Sox signed Scutaro. No reason for the Sox to make the move then.

Yeah, they were willing to pay like 9M of the 12-13?M owed to him next year in that Texas trade before his injuries came up apparently.

Read something that they're close to moving Kotchman so maybe they just hold on to Lowell as a backup 3B-1B/part-time DH type guy. I mean if they're gonna pay almost his full salary in a trade anyway, doesn't seem like a crazy idea.
