Braves made first offer to Glavine

The Atlanta Braves offered Tom Glavine a contract Friday, the first attempt to reunite the free agent left-hander with the franchise he broke into the majors with 20 years ago.Glavine's agent, Gregg Clifton, said Friday that Glavine would take less money to join the Braves. Clifton did not reveal terms of the contract. It is believed to be a one-year deal.
"Now, our intention is to prepare a counter-offer that we will give them by tonight," Clifton said. The Mets are interested in keeping Glavine as part of their rotation but have not offered him a contract. The Mets would likely offer Glavine more money than the Braves. The primary reason Glavine wants to return to Atlanta, according to Clifton, is so Glavine can be near his wife and children year-round. They live in Georgia. "It is about his family," Clifton said.

Re: Braves made first offer to Glavine

He has to return to the Braves. I don't think it would be right if he retired with any other team.
