December 23, 200817 yr By Tim Dierkes [December 23 at 4:21pm CST] According to Yahoo's Gordon Edes, the Mets are deep in negotiations with free agent starter Derek Lowe. However, the Mets have yet to make an offer. Damn. I think he would make a great addition to our rotation.

December 24, 200817 yr Can someone explain to me how a team can be "deep in negotiations" yet has not made an offer?
