Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell says that trade rumors involving his name don't bother him.

"I can honestly say I haven't lost a single minute of sleep because of [those reports]," said Lowell.

"I'm just happy that I feel so much better than at any time during the season."

Boston signed Marco Scutaro, who could potentially take over for Lowell at third base, on Thursday.
