WBZ's Dan Roche has confirmed the free agent third baseman has drastically different offers from the Red Sox and the Yankees on the table.
Roche has learned the Red Sox have a firm offer of a three-year contract worth $36-to-$40 million.
The Yankees have offered the World Series MVP a four-year deal, worth $56-to-$60 million, according to Roche. But they would like him to play first base, if they re-sign Alex Rodriguez to play third.
Lowell hit .400 (6-for-15) in the 2007 World Series with four RBIs, three walks and a team-high six runs.
He set career bests by batting .324 with a team-leading 120 RBIs during the regular season.
