Reportedly the Atlanta Braves have finally made an offer to Tom Glavine, between one and two million dollars for one year. Glavine has been rehabilitating his arm coming off the first major injury of his career. While many have assumed Glavine's pitched his last innings, he's said many times that after two decades of perfect health he did not want to end his career on an injury. I'm not sure how much he'll be able to contribute next season, should he sign, but he'll have little pressure on him to anchor the staff (he'll likely be the 5th starter). With the sudden departure of Smoltz, nothing would hurt more than to see Glavine join him as ex-Braves likely in their last season. At least one of the big three appears set to retire a Brave. Sounds good to me. And at the very least, it gives us ONE lefty in the rotation, and more arms to strengthen the pitching depth for the season. Its win win, I say.
*In other news, Andruw Jones appears set to sign a one year minor league contract with the Texas Rangers. Rumors had swirled that the Braves had interest in bringing him back (they didn't) and that the Yankees had offered him a minor league deal (they did), but ultimately it looks like he'll be trying to regain his form as a Ranger minor leaguer. Best of luck Andruw.
