Boston Red Sox - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog - Boston.com
Epstein said Sunday night that talks have begun toward trying to re-sign Mike Lowell and Curt Schilling to new deals, but that nothing was close or imminent.

The Sox GM did everything possible to low-key any discussion surrounding Alex Rodriguez, who is telling close friends that he would like to play for the Red Sox. Low-key them or not, the meetings will likely see the spotlight squarely on Scott Boras, A-Rod's agent, who arrived here in Friday.

"I haven't talked to Scott (Boras) for a while," said Epstein concerning A-Rod's agent. "I'm sure we'll touch base with him here, just general, touching base with him. Right now we're focussed on our own guys. We're trying to survey the landscape. We're trying to see if you we can sign our own guys. See if anything makes sense and move on from there."

Boras is here in Orlando trying to peddle his high-priced client. He told this reporter in the Sunday notes that he has been pleasantly surprised by the number of inquiries on A-Rod and even surprised by a couple of teams that have expressed interest, but it doesn't appear the Red Sox would bite if the money remains at the numbers being bandied about. One report had Boras asking the Yankees for a $350 million deal over 10 years, which the Red Sox won't go anywhere near.

"Any discussions as to the contract terms is between the teams and ourselves," Boras told the Associated Press. "It's clear for all of us that we're at the point now where we've got to do a lot of work with the teams involved and we're going to keep the information and dialogue with the clubs private and confidential as we go forward."

The last thing Epstein wants is a Lowell-A-Rod, either-or scenario to play out every day. Epstein seems to have a Plan B in mind if Lowell isn't re-signed and if Rodriguez isn't within reach.

Pedroia Played Last Two Months With Broken Hamate Bone

Dustin Pedroia tells the Herald's Rob Bradford that he played the final two months of the season with a cracked hamate bone in his left hand.

The injury was first discovered during an MRI/bone scan on September 10. DP underwent surgery last Tuesday and is now wearing a soft cast. Herald:
"Some days I would wake up and it would be hard to grip a bat. I changed my grip a little bit on the bat and went from there. It was just one of those things you know you have to take care of after the season, but you have to play through. A lot of guys have done that." ...

The surgery was performed by Dr. Donald Sheridan in Scottsdale, Ariz. According to Pedroia, when Sheridan went in to remove the bone it crumbled, suggesting more activity might have led to further complications.​
