Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun writes that the "sense is" Derek Lowe may end up back in the National League. Lowe was designated by assignment by the Indians last week and can begin talking to teams directly if he is given his release as expected on Friday. For what it's worth, Connolly hears that the Giants are one possibility. The Orioles and Cubs have also been linked to the veteran right-hander while the Red Sox have decided to pass on a potential reunion.
