Original Post:
The Braves released LHP Tom Glavine, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, who cites major league sources.
Glavine had surgery on his elbow and shoulder during the offseason.
He pitched six scoreless innings in a rehab start for Single-A Rome on Tuesday, while throwing 64 pitches, 44 of which were strikes.
According to Rosenthal, “Glavine was to be paid $1 million for his first day on the active roster, $1.25 million for 30 days on the roster and another $1.25 million for 90 days on the roster, bringing the total possible value of the deal to $4.5 million.”
“I feel physically good,” Glavine is quoted as saying on MLB.com. “I feel good about the amount of pitches I’ve thrown. I feel like I’m ready.”
… i shutter to say this, but, the Mets need a starting pitcher, and he always had a strong relationship with Omar Minaya and Jeff Wilpon…
…i know his time with the Mets ended badly, but i can’t help but wonder if his name will be dicussed in the offices in Citi Field…
