The Red Sox and Rangers have decided to take a little more time to think about if they want to finalize a trade that would send Mike Lowell to Texas for catching prospect Max Ramirez.

As part of the trade, the Red Sox would eat $9 million of the $12 million Lowell is owed next season on the final year of his contract. The Rangers envision Lowell as someone who pushes young first baseman Chris Davis but serves mainly as a designated hitter.

Boston would hope to sign Adrian Beltre if they do trade Lowell.
