| | Lowell’s name has come up in discussions within the Marlins organization, but it’s unclear what their interest level is in the former Fish.

| | He said that spring training is all about mechanics and process, not results. It’s about refining the swing, maintaining balance at the plate, being selective and the other basic components that go into hitting.

That’s the pseudonym of the anonymous big league star who writes a behind-the-scenes column for ESPN the Magazine, and who relayed an unflattering secondhand story about the Sox player in the most recent issue.
