The winter meetings ended with the Boston Red Sox reportedly reaching a preliminary deal to send former World Series MVP Mike Lowell to the Texas Rangers for catcher/first baseman Max Ramirez.
A few days have passed, so has the deal hit a snag? According to Sunday's Boston Globe, Texas is further examining Lowell's right thumb, an injury that hampered him near the end of last season. Lowell also had hip surgery, but that is not believed to be a problem. ESPN
I still believe this is going to happen, but if it doesn't the Sox are kind of fucked. I never realized Lowell had a bad thumb up until this trade. If this doesn't happen it will do nothing but slow the process of getting Adrian Beltre or trading for Adrian Gonzalez or Miggy Cabrera.
