Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Today, Mike Lowell talked to the press about his role and future with the Boston Red Sox. Lowell wanted to reach out to the fanbase after his trade to the Texas Rangers failed to materialize in the offseason because of injury. Mike Lowell has comes to terms with the business of baseball, and that his past services to the ballclub shouldn't be overlooked, but also shouldn't prevent the club from continuing to improve position by position. He wanted to pass this along to the fans as well, to not look at his situation with any bitterness or contempt for the front office's decisions.
