The Braves have an extremely deep pitching staff, which could lead them to deal Derek Lowe to fill holes on the roster. Lowe is owed $45 million over the remaining three years on his contract. "It's an obvious position of strength and when you're looking to improve your club, you're looking at where you can improve it at the expense of some other area," general manager Frank Wren said. "We'll see when we come out of our planning meetings what we feel is most appropriate."
