While it’s unclear if Boston is interested in bringing back the 39-year-old, who played with the club from 1997-2004, Lowe certainly seems open to the idea.
According to The Boston Globe’s Nick Cafardo, Lowe said he just needs a “tune-up” with his personal trainer and that he’d love a Red Sox reunion.
Lowe had a strong start to the season in Cleveland, but he’s struggled mightily of late. After going 6-1 with a 2.05 ERA to begin the year, the right-hander is now 8-10 with a 5.52 ERA.
Lowe’s highs outweighed his lows in Boston, as the tall righty saved 42 games in 2000, won 21 games in 2002, and won all three postseason series-clinching games during the Red Sox’ World Series run in 2004.
With the Red Sox rotation experiencing some struggles, we’ll see if they decide to roll the dice on a familiar face.
