So we’ve been hiding out for a little while trying to let the pains of the season slip away, but we’re here for a quick Halloween update. According to ESPN, the Braves have sent Derek Lowe to Cleveland for pitching prospect Chris Jones. The Braves will pay about $10 million of the $15 million that Lowe is owed in 2012. After going 9-17 in 2011, it’s a move the Braves had to make. The Braves also picked up their option on Eric Hinske and declined their option on Nate McLouth for the 2012 season. We’ll have more updates soon to help everyone fight through the offseason.
