Nick Cafardo of Boston.com takes a look at the Derek Lowe situation and where things stand currently as far as trade talks go with Derek Lowe being shopped.
Lowe is going into his second year of a four-year, $60 million contract he signed last offseason. Lowe allowed 232 hits, the most in the National League, over 194 2/3 innings. He lasted seven innings in only two of his last 21 starts, yet managed to win four of his last five and went 15-10 with a 4.67 ERA in 34 starts, which was also tops in the NL.
He wants to stay with the Braves and an organization that he highly believes in, but the team has pressing needs and need payroll flexibility to keep key areas of the team strong, such as the bullpen.
