Braves Rumors: Lowe, Vazquez, Glaus

Only a couple teams were interested in trading for Derek Lowe, according to MLB.com's Mark Bowman. The clubs wanted the Braves to eat about half of the $45MM the right-hander will earn over the course of the next three years, so the Braves dealt Javier Vazquez instead. Here are the rest of Bowman's rumors:

• The Yankees were apparently the only team willing to trade for a pitcher making $10MM or more.
• There are no hard feelings between Lowe and Braves GM Frank Wren.
• The Braves don't consider Melky Cabrera the centerpiece of the Vazquez deal and they have yet to determine his role on next year's team.
• Bowman agrees with Jerry Crasnick, saying that the Troy Glaus agreement won't be finalized for at least a few days.
