Money does talk but it's not the only factor a FA will take into consideration (unless your agent is Scot Bora$$). Derek Lowe is condiering going back to his home town in Detroit, but after tonight he'll probably stay with the Red Sox possibly depending on other moves. Frankly, I would stay away from Pavano. I know he had a great season, but it was in a pitcher friendly ballpark, and he hasn't really proven much in a career. He's going to get a big offer no doubt, and I think we could sign Odalis Perez for cheaper, and it would fit our needs better.
