Talks between the Red Sox and Rangers about a trade involving Mike Lowell have accelerated, according to a baseball source.
Lowell may not have a chance to play much in Boston with David Ortiz, Kevin Youkilis and Adrian Beltre at first and third base.
A trade between Boston and Texas for Lowell broke down this winter when the third baseman failed a physical.

The Red Sox have offered pitcher Josh Beckett a four-year contract, according to sources.
The contract is believed to be similar financially to the one John Lackey received from Boston this winter, meaning Beckett would make between $65 million and $70 million.
The Red Sox aren't willing to add a fifth year to the offer, but there is optimism that an agreement will be reached.
