First off, there was a taker in Texas, but it fell through because of the finger issue, now with that cleared up, there is renewed interest in Lowell, and with the Sox willing to eat a huge chunk of his salary, there is no need for the receiving team to pay his salary, and the Sox aren't asking for high-level talent in return. He'll get traded, and the roster spot will be freed up. I don't know why you keep making such a fuss about the famous logjam issue. For one, Bill Hall has looked acceptable when given the chance to play MIF, because, after all, he is an utility player, and i don't see how the fact that we don't have a Glove McNoodlebat to back up 2B/SS is actively hampering the Sox' chance of winnin. Just saying.
