Note: Glavine a Free Agent, Expect November
Tom Glavine officially filed for free agency yesterday, while declining to pick up his option for 2008.
During a conference call yesterday, Mets GM Omar Minaya said he has interest in bringing back Glavine, but like last yea he doesn’t expect to know of the pitcher’s plans until late-November.
Glavine’s agent has told reporters that the pitcher continues to favor the Mets and Braves.
Of course, earlier this week in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Braves beat-writer David O’Brien categorizes Atlanta as the ‘front-runner’ to sign Glavine.
…as i said then, i still think there is a chance he ends up with the Mets, but if so, it will be because this year’s situation evolved like last year’s, in which the Braves back out…
This past weekend in Newsday, Ken Davidoff explained why Glavine is most likely to either sign with the Braves or Nationals, or just retire. Also, early this off-season, ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick listed the Nationals as a possible landing spot for Glavine, as well.
