The Indians acquired Derek Lowe from the Braves, tweets John Kreger. We'll have more details as they become available, but I think it's safe to assume the Braves are paying a significant portion of Lowe's $15MM salary.
Lowe, 38, posted a 5.05 ERA, 6.6 K/9, 3.4 BB/9, 0.67 HR/9, and 59% groundball rate in 187 innings this year for Atlanta. Lowe's Braves career ended on a sour note, as his 8.75 September ERA contributed to their collapse. Still, his groundball rate ranked second in all of baseball. Lowe signed a four-year, $60MM deal with the Braves in January of 2009.

Atlanta is absorbing all but $5 million of the money owed to Derek Lowe in this; second-line player return going from CLE to ATL
ATL getting back a Class A left-hander in return for Lowe,so obviously their primary motivation was to clear some dollars,and rotation spot.
