Marty Noble of MLB.com reports that Tom Glavine is likely to play another year, though he won’t make a decision of where till late in the month.

Glavine has said previously that if he plays it will be with the Mets or Braves, the only two teams he’s played for in his entire career, although rumors of interest from the Washington Nationals have also been reported last month by ESPN.

I find the National rumors to be somewhat unlikely, no offense Manny Acta, but its just how I see it. Its a given that if the Braves make any kind of reasonable offer, Tommy will take it. Plain and simple, even if said offer is lower than that of the Mets, Glavine clearly wants to be closer to his family.

That being said, I don’t think the Braves have a lot of money in which they’ll be willing to play with, and so far they seem to be more in the slashing mood than the signing mood, letting guys go and moving towards a younger team.

Bringing back Glavine, even if he’s still in playing shape, seems like it’d be the opposite of everything else they’ve done as of late. But thats good for us, because despite the bad taste Tommy’s season ending comments left in our collective mouths, as stated…everywhere: 13 wins, 200 innings.

Unless we can pull some sort of blockbuster move that doesn’t give us a kick elsewhere too hard to recover from (ie, goodbye Jose), we need those innings filled and those wins…err..won.
