Mets offer Lowe three-year deal

According to Jack Curry of the NY Times, the Mets have offered Derek Lowe a three-year deal worth around $36 million.

This backs up a story from Dec. 24, in which it was noted Lowe and the Mets were "close" on a three- or four-year deal.

This would be much lower than the deal Lowe is seeking, which Curry noted to be for "five-years, $90 million."

Lowe, 35, is coming off a 14-11 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
