Where's the mystery team...

For those of us waiting for Boras to pull a surprise team out of thin air, I'm finding it harder and harder to see where that team will come from. In fact it looks like Boras' best bet is to hope we sweeten the deal just a bit to get it done and over with so everybody including him can move to other players. Both the Cubs and Brewers have reports out today saying they'd be interested in Lowe but not at the current price...

The Brewers, too, are interested in Lowe, but only at a modest price. The Phillies would love to sign Lowe, but cannot absorb his salary while bracing for pay increases to their eight remaining arbitration-eligible players, including first baseman Ryan Howard and left-hander Cole Hamels.source Ken Rosenthal Fox Sports

The Cubs believe sinkerballer Derek Lowe is too expensive but will continue to explore pitching options. They return four formidable starters in Carlos Zambrano, Ryan Dempster, Rich Harden and Ted Lilly. It’s conceivable they are done until spring training. source Yahoo.sports
