Derek Lowe will be a free agent this winter and the New York Yankees already appear to be a suitor for his services. Lowe signed a four-year, $36 million contract with the Dodgers following the 2004 season in which he helped the Red Sox win their first World Series since 1918. RealGM Note: Lowe was the 84th best player (37th best starter) in the MLB in 2007 and 'deserved' to make $8.75 million, making his Reina Value a very respectable -8%. This season he is currently ranked 124th and has a -25% Reina Value.
