The Atlanta Braves have signed Derek Lowe for four-years and $60 million. The deal as always is pending a physical exam. The Braves beat out the Mets for Lowe who has been the front running for him the last few weeks. Looks like the Mets will not go for Perez and Wolf or even Brewers Sheets but there has been talk about his health. Lowe, 35, is 126-107 in his career and has played for Boston, Seattle, and LA. The Braves tried to trade Jake Peavy this winter to get A.J. Burnett but the Yankees beat them out.

The New York Mets are working hard in the off season. There is a report that they made a three year offer worth $36 million to Derek Lowe. Lowe’s agent Scott Boras would not confirm the offer. It is rumored Boras is looking for a five year contract way higher then the $12 million a year the Mets offered. Lowe was 14-11 with a 3.24 ERA, he spent seven years with the Red Sox and had 42 saves. He is a two time All-Star with a 3.75 ERA and 85 saves in his career.
