With Alex Rodriguez all but set for re-entry into the Yankees' universe, it doesn't mean the Yankees have lost interest in free agent Mike Lowell. A Yankees official confirmed yesterday the club is talking to the World Series MVP about moving from third to first and playing for the team he broke into professional baseball with. Until Tuesday, the world champion Red Sox had Lowell, 34 in February, to themselves regarding financial discussions. Immediately following the Red Sox four-game sweep of the Rockies, Lowell spoke of wanting to stay in Boston. However, the Yankees let him know they were willing to talk to him even Rodriguez returned. Now, with Rodriguez close to coming back, the Yankees want Lowell to play first base. -- NY Post

LOWELL IS STILL ON THE RADAR

This is a ridiculous idea. To spend 50 million on a guy who doesn't historically hit well in Yankee Stadium and put him out of position is just nuts.

Cashman always manages to screw up this position - big time.

Just leave Andy Phillips, Shelly Duncan and Giambi rotate and spend that money on something else.

I wouldn't go after Lowell, I'd go after, well, you know...a FIRST BASEMAN.

But no way would I leave the position to Phillips, Duncan and Giambi.

Lowell at third, Jeter at short, Cano at second, and A-Rod at first- now that's an all time infield.

But Lowell is a 3rd baseman. What makes everybody think he'll be a good first baseman?

Reports now say the Yankees have pulled their offer for Lowell.

Keep in mind that it is forums such as this that perpetuate these rumors.
