According to the Associated Press, free-agent OF Mike Cameron will be suspended 25 games for using a banned stimulant.

In the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Braves beat-writer David O’Brien categorizes Atlanta as the ‘front-runner’ to sign free-agent LHP Tom Glavine, who became a free agent after declining an option with the Mets in early October.

…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.

Lastly, O’Brien writes that the Braves might have interest in free-agent OF Mike Cameron, who grew up in Georgia.

Yesterday, the Braves traded SS Edgar Renteria – and his $9 million contract – to the Tigers for two prospects, OF Gorkys Hernandez and RHP Jair Jurrjens, who the team’s assistant GM compared to Braves LHP Jo-Jo Reyes.
