Still, Lowe has hit 17 doubles, 16 homers and driven in 68 runs while walking at a decent rate. He's 30 years old and has previously won a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger award. This is a big fella with a sweet left-handed swing who can also field his position.

The Red Sox are reportedly bringing in a former Gold Glove first baseman days after he was cut loose by the Nationals.

The Red Sox and first baseman Nathaniel Lowe are in the final stages of a contract, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan . MassLive’s Chris Cotillo reported earlier that Lowe and the Sox were in discussions and were “ working on getting it done.” Lowe is represented by SportsMeter.
