Derek Lowe has heard trade rumors mentioning his name, but he would like to remain with the Braves. He struggled over the season's final two months and Atlanta is believed to be looking for more offense. "I know they have holes they want to fill, and I know, from my perspective, when you pitch as poorly as I pitched, and given the caliber of the starting pitchers we have, I wouldn't be surprised by something like that," he told the Boston Globe. "But in terms of whether someone called me to tell me, 'Would you be interested in being traded somewhere?' No, I haven't received that call." Lowe doesn't have a no-trade clause his in four-year, $60 million contract. "It's a first-class organization from top to bottom," Lowe said of the Braves. He went 15-10 with a 4.67 ERA in 34 starts in 2009.
