Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell doesn't think there is any chance that the team will release him. "I don't think they're going to release me," said Lowell, who spent the last week or so home in Miami with permission from the club. "I think that's been addressed. I've got no say. What do you want me to do?" Lowell doesn't quite understand why Boston won't let him go despite the fact that he rarely plays. "I don't know if it's specifically because I might beat them, I just don't think they want me to go to another team while they pay my salary," Lowell said. "At this point, they're not going to get anything [in a trade]. You're going to get a subpar prospect at best. There's too much time left in the season, they're not going to get money. "I don't know to what lengths and what teams have spoken with them. Maybe nobody wants me. Maybe there are four that want me. I've been hearing a lot of different things. I just don't know."
