The Tigers are interested in acquiring veteran right-hander Derek Lowe from the Braves, according to sources.
Detroit currently has a hole in their starting rotation.
The two sides haven't had serious discussions and Lowe's salary could be a significant roadblock for the Tigers.
He is owed roughly $6 million over the rest of this season and $15 million next year.
Lowe is a native of Michigan.
