Sox, Lugo’s agents meeting this afternoon

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The Sox should have a better sense of whether Julio Lugo will be their shortstop in 2007 after they meet this afternoon with the Levinson brothers, Lugo’s agents.

Boston’s chief rival for Lugo’s services would appear to be the Mets, who want Lugo to play second base; it is believed Lugo’s preference is to play short for the Sox. The Cubs could still jump in, but there were strong indications that they are out.
