Adrian Beltre Agrees To Deal With Red Sox

SB Nation’s Red Sox blog Over the Monster thinks the Adrian Beltre signing is great on two accounts -- it’s cheap and it’s short:

The Red Sox will reportedly continue to try to shop Mike Lowell, who failed a physical in December when the Sox tried to trade the veteran to the Texas Rangers. If Lowell isn’t traded, he most likely will play off the bench, some third base, getting some at-bats as a designated hitter and try his hand as a first baseman.
