…..Minaya is in a must sign situation with Oliver Perez. the Mets clearly low balled Lowe as they may not have wanted him, or may not have wanted to commit to an older player again. And who can blame them with the cash down the toilet work of Moises Alou and Orlando Hernandez. A player should never be considered old coming off a good year, but 4 years would have taken Lowe to around 40 years of age. Maybe thats why the Mets would not go beyond three years for Lowe, but they might with a younger Perez.

For a wide variety of reasons, the Mets cannot be outbid for Perez. If they do, it sends a meassage that the Wilpons are in trouble financially and the Mets are unable to compete as a big market club on its way into a new stadium.
