The New York Mets and free-agent starter Derek Lowe continue to have discussion on Lowe's services for the 2009 season. The Mets desperately need a strong number two starter to back the great Johan Santana, and the durable Lowe seems like a perfect fit. Writers in the community believe that if the Mets and Lowe come to terms, it will be a 2-year deal worth $30M and include a third-year option for the same price ($15M per season). If Derek goes elsewhere, perhaps back to Boston where he had some playoff success, the Mets will need to act quickly and attempt to retain one of their own free-agents, Oliver Perez.
