Glavine Reportedly to Decline Option with Mets

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Per ESPN- Maybe we sign him for one year? He's not the same pitcher he once was, but the guy is as consistent a pitcher as anyone in the league the past 15 years. He's no Ben Sheets, but he's not going to go 0-22 either.

That said, he might be leaning towards retirement to spend more time with his family. Wisconsin is a GREAT place to finish a career and raise a family Tom! I'd want out of NY if I were you too...

I wonder if he's going to pull a Clemens and not sign with anyone 'til May or so.

[Postseason2006]

No thanks.

I would imagine he's considering coming back. You think he would just retire with the Mets instead of declining the option and then retiring. It'd be interesting to have him with the Brewers to say the least, but I think we need to determine who is part of our rotation first before we add anyone else.

I think Glavine still has two years left in him. I don't think he would be right for our team, but someone will take him.

[craigharmann]

Maybe he'll go back to the Braves?

[billyhallfan]

he won't retire will he?

 

I can't imagine him leaving the game like that.

[Team Canada]

I would think it's either going to be NY or Atlanta.

[RoseBowlMtg]

Remember when Glavine was part of the union with Atlanta and said Milwaukee shouldn't have a team when they were fighting against revenue sharing? No thanks and I don't think he likes Milwaukee very much. He does like the golf courses though.

[JohnBriggs12]

He's very close to being done. Is not worth what he would want.

[BrewCrewForever]

I would think it's either going to be NY or Atlanta.

That sounds like a good bet. The Yanks will pay him big bucks or he will go back to where it all started for him. Smoltz and Glavine reunited.

We have enough 5 inning pitchers.

[bigredrobbo]

He's refused the option on, I believe, 13 million. Why would he come here for less?

[crewcrazy]

Mets fans are basically chasing him out of town after his implosion in the season finale, so I doubt he'll be back with the Mets. It's a pretty safe bet to say he'll be going back to Atlanta...they need back of the rotation guys and Glavine is at least a little better than the Jo-Jo Reyes' of the world.
