Again, that may have been brought on by pressure from McCourt... McCourt, a Boston guy (he loved Lowe), wanted him to go out and get a marquee free agent... and IIRC, the Lowe Deal happened right after the Dodgers missed out on Beltran.
It's definitely speculation though... so take it for what its worth... I just remember thinking this when the deal happened.
