Jed Lowrie Surprised He Wasn't Traded; Mets, Phillies, & Royals Scouting Doug Fister; Bob Geren Could Be Next In Line As Mets Manager

Doug Fister, RHP, Red Sox — Right now there are two types of scouts at ballparks — those watching prospective playoff opponents and those watching potential free agents. Fister is getting a lot of attention. The Mets, Phillies, and Royals have had scouts watching his outings of late. Fister can be a free agent after this season, and this time he probably won’t have to wait until late May to sign a major league deal. Question is, will the Red Sox be interested in re-signing him with Steven Wright due back next season?
