The AJC is reporting that former Dodgers pitcher, Derek Lowe, has accepted a 4-year, $60 million offer from the Braves.
They’ve agreed to terms with veteran pitcher Derek Lowe on a four-year, $60 million contract, a person familiar with negotiations said this morning. The deal will be finalized after Lowe takes a physical Wednesday.

In 2008 with the Los Angeles Dodgers, he was 14-11 with a 3.24 ERA in 211 innings, including 6-1 with a 1.27 ERA in his last 10 starts.
This is a huge signing for the Braves. Lowe is now the ace of the staff and joins a rotation that will, surprisingly, be quite formidable.
