I’s give the Braves our 22nd pick if the sign Glavine before Omar has a brain fart and signs Glavine for the Mets.

Don’t get me started on bitter.

See my post above….there will be no way he signs before Dec 2…..and we won’t be offering him arbitration because 1. The Wilpons wouldn’t do that to him, because I’m sure they had an agreement….. and 2. He could always accept it, and we would be responsible for him for another year with a decent raise.

Tom Galvine for a first round pick (number 18?) do it NOW! I’ll drive him to the airport to make sure he’s not in the backseat of a Cab!

In order for the former team of a free agent to receive compensation for losing a player to free agency, the player must sign with another team before December 2 or the team must have offered the player arbitration before December 1.

We aren’t going to offer arbitration, and he won’t sign before December 2……..

im all for going back to the 80s jersey with the racing stripe, like they wore the night of the 20th aniv of the 1986 team. just make it a button down instead of the pullover style i thought they looked pretty cool.
