[Fish Troll]

Tom Glavine declined his $13 million player option to remain with the Mets in 2008.
Glavine gets $3 million automatically, so it was a $10 million decision for him. "Tom has not had enough time to sufficiently think things through with his family and did not want to make a decision until he the opportunity with them to reflect on his future in baseball as well as his future with the Mets," said agent Gregg Clifton. Glavine indicated that he's a month away from making a decision on his future. Oct. 5 - 6:04 pm et

Thanks Tommy! How did he do in one third of an inning again in the most important game of our 2007 season??

[Fish Troll]

Guy going have to consider to play for 1 more year to try to erase the god awful memory of his last career game being a complete choke.

[nymlunatic]

not a doubt about that....i definitely thought that the guy....going into this possible last career game, would show up and really do well. Guess not.

[Fish Troll]

If he did pitch well, then that game won't be the last of his career then.

You should be crying. He was 41-28 in the last 3 years and now the Mets are missing a starter.

Good..this will force Omar to actually go out and acquire a starter..

Only if he's looking to make a trade because Glavine is the best starter available on the FA Market for his price.

No, we shouldn't. He was 61-56 overall with the Mets. Nothing special. They won't be short a starter much longer. They'll get someone to replace him.

The problem is he's only open to 3 teams at most.
