The Yankees have let the media know that A-Rod will most likely be coming back and that they want to sign Mike Lowell to play first base. Here’s why that won’t happen: To get Lowell they would have to sign him to a 4 year deal. They already signed Posada for 4 years with the idea that he would catch for 2 and then move to first. The Yankees do not want to be overloaded with aging veterans at first. This is a ploy by the new leaders of the Dark Side to try to get Boston to sign Lowell for 4 years. Yankee Stadium is not a good fit for Lowell, even Yankee fans know that. I would not be surprised if Mike is re-signed by the Sox shortly after A-Rod goes to the Yanks. But now we have to deal with rumors that the Cardinals and Braves have offered him a 4 year deal.
