The word was from the radio and newspaper guys that once VMart was obtained and Lowell’s time went down, he didn’t like it and started to complain - behind closed doors again - fine.

But then a reporter asks him about his thumb and he threw the Sox medical staff under the bus. Even if true, is this what a man who wants to play for a team does? In fact, the Sox were so upset the team’s Assistant GM made a statement which basically opposed Lowell - within 15 hours.

Now he gives interviews when he says he wants to start and doesn’t see it here. Holley last week spent a whole show talking about his multiple sources saying that Lowell was creating all sorts of problems internally in an effort to get out of Boston.

Great Mike, shut up. If he goes someplace else, to get 50-150 more PA’s (if there is such a place), they will be paying the minimum part of Lowell’s $12M contract, and the Sox will have to pick it up - so that Lowell is in better position for a contract next year.

He is not honoring his contract, which the Sox must. He is not keeping his mouth shut, including potentially lying or stretching the truth on his thumb. He is agitating to leave. The myth that he is “classy” and a “quiet clubhouse leader” are exposed for what they are - a lie.

If I was Theo, I’d play him every inning in ST and the regular season until he breaks down (about April 6th) put him on the 60 day DL and screw his chances for anything else but a minor league invite.

And still people suck up this common thief’s garbage. Sickening.
