I think at this point, the Dodgers are the most likely place he could go if he doesn't end up back in a skankee uniform. The skanks are only saying they won't play ball with Boras so nobody else will drive the price up. Add that to the fact that supposedly the Dodgers are talking with Torre about the managerial position and this only helps the A-rod deal.
34 may be old in baseball years, but I can almost guarantee that Boston will resign Lowell. He may not have as good a year next year, but he's proven that he wasn't just a throw in deal with Beckett since he arrived. I mean shit, Manny and Ortiz didn't have the kind of year they usually have either and let's not get started on J.D. Drew.. but they won. I don't think Boston is going to do much to shake this team up except for a few pitching changes and bullpen structuring moves. This would exclude CoCo as he's almost expendable with the emergence of Ellsbury. We still have Henske that we can throw into the game if we need an outfield replacement.
