Tom Glavine say’s he’s ready to return to the Atlanta Braves. After tossing six scoreless innings in a rehab game on Tuesday night the 43-year old pitcher sounded eager to return.
“I don’t know what else I can do,” he said. “Physically I felt good and I feel like I’m ready. “I’d love to get to [...]

More on Glavine
After a night's sleep -- and upon learning that Tommy Hanson has been called up and will pitch on Saturday -- I have moderated my views about the whole Glavine affair. Upshot: While I concede that from a purely baseball perspective the Braves are better off with Tommy Hanson than Tom Glavine on the mound, I'm still disappointed in the way things were handled. I will allow...

The Braves unceremoniously released Tom Glavine yesterday after he made a good rehab start. The move seemed odd when it was first announced but made more sense when the Braves announced the acquisition of Nate McLouth in a trade for three prospects.
Mets fans immediately began wondering if the team would be better off signing [...]

Earlier today the Braves released 300-game-winner Tom Glavine, a move to rid themselves of a pitcher whose fastball was registering in the low 80's. Glavine had just done well in his last rehab outing, but the Braves felt it would be better to have a young pitcher in the rotation.
That wasn't their only move of the day.
Later in the day Atlanta acquired 2008 All-Star...

Why The Braves Didn’t Need Glavine

June 04, 2009
Tom Glavine was released yesterday by the Braves because Frank Wren and company determined that he wasn’t going to be effective at the big league level. They’re right. It was my opinion when Glavine was signed that once he finished rehabbing, he’d only be a mediocre pitcher. It’s just not needed on a club with [...]

Braves punt Glavine, bring up Hanson and get Nate the Great
Quite the afternoon for the usually stoic Atlanta Braves: Waive HOF-to-be Tom Glavine, right as he was about to be called up to the big club in a move deemed “not a business decision” but rather a “performance decision”. Good luck selling that to fans. Dumping Glavine a 2nd time, especially this way, seems cruel and cold. In the wake of Glavine’s departure...

OK, so the Braves have a damn good rotation. We don’t have room for Tom Glavine, a Hall of Fame lock 43 year old coming off shoulder surgery. We paid him $1M without seeing him pitch and then rehabbed him, only to tell him we didn’t think he had the stuff to make it in [...]

((HT: AJC/Boone))John Smoltz ripped his former team’s release of good friend Tom Glavine, telling reporters in Detroit “it’s just not how you treat people.”“I’m using a very soft word in ‘disappointed’ because that ain’t right,” said Smoltz, a teammate of Glavine’s for 16 years. The duo won 454 games and three Cy Young Awards as Braves. ((Both are pictured,...

Glavine another victim of baseball physics

The Phillies are allegedly going to sign Tom Glavine or take Vicente Padilla from the Rangers. If the reports are true, the Phillies are close to out of their minds.
Okay, maybe we shouldn’t be that drastic. But signing either Glavine or Padilla would send wrong messages and frankly, be the wrong ways to forward your [...]
