Cubs would be better off with Peavy, the prospects they are wanting in the trade are never going to be MLB stars, so get rid of them.

No Yankees... you already have a sinkerball pitcher in Wang. Get Pettitte for 1 year or Sheets for 2... go get Manny, and trade Matsui

I agree to a certain extent, but I don't like Sheets because of the fact that the Yanks will have two liabilities in their rotation. Although I'm not a fan of Lowe (age/decline), he can be an innings eater, which will help save the bullpen, and if (god I hope not) someone goes down...he'll be a reliable guy to go 180-195 innings.

Lowe 3yrs ($48)?? Wishful thinking...

This makes no sense for the Cubs since they are already rubbing up against their $140 million salary ceiling. Peavy is 27. Lowe 35. Unless the Cubs are planning to unload one of their big salaries. Soriano? Lee? Fukudome? I suppose a good GM explores all possibilities, but Randy Johnson and a one-year deal seems more reasonable if Marquis can be traded.

I hope the Braves take a serious look at Lowe.

<p>The Cubs could become a landing spot for star free-agent pitcher <strong>Derek Lowe</strong>.</p>
<p>Chicago had been talking seriously to the Padres about trade target <strong>Jake Peavy</strong> for weeks until pulling out at the winter meetings, and some baseball people think discussions could be revived at some point.</p>
<p>If not, however, Lowe could become a suitable rotation replacement in Wrigley Field. Peavy has $63 million over four years remaining on his contract, and that's very likely Lowe's price tag, as well.</p>
<p>The Yankees were in serious talks with Lowe before turning to <strong>A.J. Burnett</strong> for $82.5 million over five years, and they also could resume discussions in the event <strong>Andy Pettitte</strong> rejects their $10 million offer for 2009.</p>
<p>Other teams on Lowe's radar appear to include the Braves, Red Sox, Mets, Phillies, Dodgers and Angels -- although the Phillies may be done after signing <strong>Jamie Moyer</strong>, <strong>Chan Ho Park</strong> and <strong>Raul Ibanez</strong>, and the Dodgers and Lowe are indicating they don't envision a reunion.</p>
