Sources: Braves trade Derek Lowe to Indians

[.infamous]

The Atlanta Braves have traded Derek Lowe to the Cleveland Indians, sources tell ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney.

Lowe was traded for left-handed pitching prospect Chris Jones, a source familiar with the trade told Olney.

The Braves are eating all but $5 million of the $15 million remaining on the last year of Lowe's contract, sources told Olney.

Lowe went 9-17 with a 5.05 ERA in 34 appearances for the Braves in 2011. The 15-year veteran right-hander has a career record of 166-146 with a 3.94 ERA.

This is random, I'm indifferent because he isn't that good, but he eats innings.

edit: Apparently his FIP was 3.70 last year, hopefully he has better luck next year.
