Lowell wants to be released
Boston Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell said it would be best if the club released him.
Lowell claims it would be better for both sides if he was cut and that he feels like he is a waste of a roster spot.
The third baseman could then try and catch on with another team and the Red Sox could bring in someone they might get some use out of.
He stresses that he isn’t mad at anyone in particular but is upset he worked so hard in the offseason and now isn’t seeing the field.
The team does not want to release Lowell because they would be on the hook for his entire $12 million contract.
