Default Glavine Returning To The Braves?

Quote:
It remains to be seen if Tom Glavine will play another season. But one person close to Glavine told ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick that the pitcher's poor performance against Florida on Sunday makes it more likely that he'll pitch again in 2008, because he doesn't want to go out on such a bad note.

The question is, where? Glavine has a $13 million player option with the Mets, and could decline to exercise it to either retire or become a free agent.


One potential suitor is the Nationals. Team president Stan Kasten is close to Glavine from their days together in Atlanta. And the Nationals could use a veteran starter to anchor their young staff as the team moves into a new ballpark. Glavine is also likely to require only a one-year commitment, which could make him more appealing to Washington ownership. Glavine's former Atlanta teammate, John Smoltz, recently lobbied for him to return to the Braves. "He can still pitch,'' Smoltz told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "He can still win baseball games. And, this is where he belongs."

That would be so great for him to end his career as a Brave.

He really enjoyed it there, wouldn't be shocked to see him return.

Default Glavine never gave up on finishing his career with Braves

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP)—When John Smoltz spotted the dirty uniform creeping into the space in front of his locker, he playfully pushed it back toward Tom Glavine’s side.

“I’m sorry,” Glavine said, sounding downright sincere.

Then, on his way to the showers, Glavine ran into Jeff Francoeur, who didn’t bother to look up.

“You’re not even going to say thanks?” the pitcher asked with faux disgust, having served up two long balls to Francoeur during batting practice Friday.

Did Glavine really pitch for any team other than the Braves? Was he really gone for five seasons? Except for a few gray hairs and an extra pound or two around the middle, he just picked right up where he left off in 2002.

“It almost seems like he never left,” manager Bobby Cox said. “The first day he walked in, it felt like old times.”
