According to FOXSports.com, former Mets ace Tom Glavine will be returning home next season to Atlanta as he has signed a one-year, $8 million contract with the Braves. Glavine has reportedly already taken a physical for the team.
Glavine, who is undoubtedly a hall of fame pitcher, notched his 300th win with the Mets last season. In 34 starts, he went 13-8 with a 4.45 ERA.
Glavine’s last start in a Mets uniform was his worst. With the season on the line, Glavine failed to retire more than two batters, but gave up 7 earned runs in the process.
Glavine is a Type-A free agent, and by signing with the Braves before December 1st, the Mets receive the Braves 18th overall draft pick in the 2008 amateur draft as well as a supplemental pick.
David Wright was a supplemental pick in the 2001 draft and Scott Kazmir was the 15th pick overall in the 2002 draft.
Martin Gandy at Braves blog Talkin Chop isn’t thrilled about the Mets taking away the Braves first round pick.

One Response for "Glavine Returns To Atlanta"
GOOD RIDDENCE,,The guy just wanted to get the 300 wins and didnt care about the team after that. Dont pitch in the biggest game of the season and not have your stuff and just stay in the game and give up 7 runs. Tell the manager you dont got it… get me out of the game. I found him very selfish and didnt care about the team.
