The Florida Marlins are reportedly offering star third baseman Mike Lowell an unusual contract under which Lowell would be bound to the team for four years if a new stadium is built, but become a free agent after one year if the stadium deal falls through. “It’s a wonderful PR move,” one unnamed baseball insider told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. “The Marlins would be saying, ‘Here’s Mike Lowell. We’re giving him a four-year deal, but only if we get a stadium. If you want Mike Lowell, you’ve got to give us a stadium. We’re the good guys.'”
