I didn't say there was a downside.

Not having Sandoval and instead having a broken Lowell is not a downside?

Lowell would be a good pick up

And he’s only out for about 2 months so he should be ready for ST. If we could get him for a pile of crap (ie Bocock, Velez ETC) that would be great

Rowand?

Texas would have followed through with the trade if they weren’t concerned about what Lowell would be like after the surgery. I wouldn’t take him if the Red Sox paid his entire salary. The Giants’ need a legit player to pair with Panda on the corners, not some old injured washed up player.

but the point of a Rowand swap would be to cut a lot of future money.

Probably not Rowand

Maybe if they hadn’t signed Cameron then Rowand would be a possibility but I could see a Renteria-Lowell swap, although Rent sucked when the Sawx signed him but maybe they could use him as a utility guy.
I would also be interested in Jed Lowrie, a young SS from Boston who fell out of favor with them.
