Red Sox Working on New Deal for Lowell

"We're working at it, hopefully moving the ball forward a little bit each day," Epstein told MLB.com. "I don't usually like to talk about contract negotiations in any type of detail unless the player wants to or does so first. In this case, I think we have a better chance of getting a deal done in relative secrecy or confidentiality. I just answer it in general terms and say we're working at it and making progress."

This is good news for all Red Sox fans out there (myself included) Lowell had an MVP type season and was huge in the playoffs, if the Sox want to get back to the promised land next year, it begins and ends with resigning Mike Lowell.
