AL East Rumors: Lowrie, Upton, Maddon, Orioles

The latest buzz out of the AL East...

• A few teams are asking the Red Sox about infielder Jed Lowrie, tweets Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.  The Braves are not in the picture for Lowrie, notes Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.
• The Rays are telling teams they will talk about center fielder B.J. Upton, tweets ESPN's Buster Olney, but they have to be overwhelmed to move him.  Upton has one year remaning before free agency.
• Rays manager Joe Maddon told reporters he's very confident of getting a contract extension, and he's had talks with the team.
• The Orioles are receiving plenty of interest in righty Jim Johnson, reports MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli, but they don't seem intent on moving him.  The Orioles are undecided on whether to use Johnson as a starter or reliever next year, manager Buck Showalter told reporters today.
