Rosenthal's Latest: Burnett, Lowe, Peavy

Here's a look at the latest from Ken Rosenthal.

• Rosenthal says reports of the Blue Jays' four-year, $54MM offer to A.J. Burnett are inaccurate - they've yet to make a proposal.  He's on board with Kat O'Brien's info from yesterday, noting Boston's interest.
• Scott Boras is apparently telling teams he wants "a Zito-type contract" for righty Derek Lowe.  Lowe is 35, while Zito was 28.  Is Boras implying that he wants $18MM a year?  Obviously Lowe will not find a seven-year offer.  ESPN's Buster Olney says Boras wants five years for Lowe.
• The Padres told the Yankees a Jake Peavy deal is possible even without Phil Hughes.  They've scouted Hughes anyway, but he's off-limits.
• The Rockies will sit back and listen on Garrett Atkins and Huston Street.  They don't plan on signing a free agent to replace Matt Holliday.
• The Mets want to add a righthanded bat, though they're not high on Pat Burrell.
