Glavine, who filed provisionally for free agency Thursday, will get a $3 million buyout if the Mets decline their option. He isn't sure yet whether he wants to stay in New York or try to go back to the Atlanta Braves. The 40-year-old left-hander was 15-7 with a 3.82 ERA this year and became the team's ace when Pedro Martinez got hurt. Martinez is expected to miss the first half of next season following shoulder surgery. Glavine has a 290-191 record in 20 major league seasons. Looks like he is back to the Braves...

It just mean that he won't be back for the amount on the option. There's stilla very good chance he'll resign.
November 11, 200619 yr wow, he's getting awfully close to 300 wins. What an accomplishment. What a pitcher. What a guy. He's very nice. He lives near my uncle's house in south carolina.
