The Mets pitched a three-year, $36 million offer to Derek Lowe on Tuesday. According to sources, Lowe will continue shopping for a deal elsewhere.

Lowe Declines Mets Initial Offer?
Hot Foot —
Rotoworld relays a story from Boston.com that says a source close to Derek Lowe has said that he will decline the Mets initial offer of three yrs 36m and will continue to look for a better deal.
Lowe was looking for a five yr 90m deal at the end of the season but has since scaled his demands back to a three or four year deal worth 15m a year.
You can’t blame Omar for giving him a low offer to start off, but enough messing around. Give Lowe his 3 year deal worth 45m and be done with it.
