Derek Lowe is reported to have received an offer from the Braves that would pay him $60 million over four years. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported that Lowe had received an offer of $15 million per year. On Tuesday morning, SI.com reported the Braves are trying to finalize a deal that would be for four years. Not only would the deal improve the Braves' rotation, but procuring Lowe's services would also prevent the Mets, a National League East rival, from adding him to their staff. Lowe went 14-11 with a 3.24 ERA with the Dodgers last year and has a career mark of 126-107. Landing Lowe would give the Braves an offseason coup after falling short in efforts to acquire shortstop Rafael Furcal and right-handers A.J. Burnett and Jake Peavy. The Mets have offered Lowe $36 million over three years.
