Nate Lowe DFA'd

He literally hit a grand slam last night! Then gets DFA’d?! That sux….unless he gets picked up by a contender.
Yeah, he hit a grand slam last night and DFA today, tough sport when you are the highest paid player on a bad team.
Went to a Rangers game a few months ago. Stopped by their clearance shop area, and 9 out of 10 items were Lowe jerseys. Guy won silver slugger and gold glove at this disaster of a franchise and he was just gone with the trash. They’ve never been to a World Series without having a State 1B, fun fact.
Also Mitch Moreland hit the Rangers first homer ever in the World Series. Nice footnote for his career.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see a contender pick him up for the rest of the season. His stats were solid until this year in Washington and then they just cratered.
A lot of chatter about Boston. He would platoon there at first. Every team will wait on him to clear waivers this week because if they claim him now they are on the hook for around $3 million for the rest of the season. Once he clears waivers he’s a free agent and can be signed for the minimum and the Nats will have to pick up the difference for the rest of the season. After that he will need to have a good run the end of the season to get a free agent deal for next year.
Has a negative 0.4 WAR. Yeah, he hits a homer every now and then, but with his salary on a rebuilding team you could see this coming a mile away. A contender will pick him up to be a platoon DH/pinch hitter for the stretch run.
Yeah, the Red Sox would pick him up to platoon with Romy Gonzalez. Lowe would only play vs righties.
Boston doing Boston things.
Yankees do similar. There's more than one way to skin a cat.
Love to see it as a Red Sox fan. Because they haven't done "Boston things" in about seven years until this year.
And he just hit a two run bomb to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth. Fenway is nuts. Welcome to Boston.
