Report: Phillies Make Offer To Derek Lowe

UPDATE (3:20 p.m.): Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports says the reason the Phils are going strong after Lowe is because they might be slipping in re-signing Jamie Moyer

Tony Massarotti of the Boston Globe reports the Phillies have made an offer for free agent right-handed pitcher Derek Lowe.

Massarotti added a second team has offered a contract, but the team is neither the Yankees nor the Red Sox. Both are expected to meet with Scott Boras — Lowe’s agent — either today or tomorrow.

In October, Lowe told Nick Cafardo of the Globe that the Red Sox were at the top of his list, as he wanted to join a team committed to winning. Obviously the Phillies fit that bill, too.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
