Glavine Update

I detailed a few posts below that Glavine has declined his player option and has decided to test free agency or retire. I said that I thought he would return and latch on with the Braves to contend, or the Nationals to teach.

Well, we have a little update on that. It is being reported by some sources that he would take less money to return home and pitch with the Braves. Glavine at a discount is still going to cost a pretty penny, and the Braves have more pressing needs in CF and trying to find a way to fit Renteria, Kelly Johnson, and Yunel Escobar in the same lineup. Of course, a scenario that could work would be trading Renteria, he would be in high demand with the poor SS market this offseason, and sticking the younger, cheaper Yunel at SS and Johnson at 2B, which would free up the cash for them to go after Glavine and a second tier CF like Mike Cameron.
