"Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell will have surgery on the torn ligament in his right thumb today in Phoenix. Dr. Donald Sheridan, who performed the surgery on Jed Lowrie's wrist, will operate on Lowell. Lowell is expected to miss 6-8 weeks recovering (Boston.com)."
The Sox are still going to try to move Lowell, but there is basically no shot of that happening before spring training. Lowell is going to need to prove that he is healthy from the surgeries to his hip and thumb. I do think someone will jump on him if the Sox are willing to pay about $9 million of his contract. The question is are the Sox willing to gamble and sign a guy like Beltre even though Lowell is still on the roster?
