He likes it! Mikey likes it!

The deal from the Red Sox that is. He might like Life cereal too, I have no idea.

According to the Herald, the deal won't be finalized until tomorrow but the plan is to give him three years at between 36 and 39 million. ESPN is reporting that the deal is for 37.5 million. So probably 12.5 million a year. It sounds about right.

It's good to get this settled.

Good on the Front Office to sticking to their guns and not being bamboozeled by the Yankees. Good on Lowell for being such a nice guy, according to the ESPN piece, he could have gotten his four years from the Dodgers or the Phillies but he wanted to stay in Boston. Say it with me: Awww.

And now to drag out some of my favorite Lowell bits: bit one and bit two.
