According to the ajc.com<\/a>, the Braves are in some sort of talks to bring Tommy Glavine back to the Braves organization. In what capacity remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

The 305-game winner has been in discussions with the Braves about a possible position with the organization that could include duties ranging from front-office work to instructing players in the minor leagues and perhaps even some broadcasting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve talked to Tommy several times since the season ended,\u201d said Braves president John Schuerholz, who said talks were still in the preliminary stage. \u201cIt\u2019s always been in our mind that ultimately, eventually something like this might be a possibility.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The unconscionable behavior by the Braves towards Glavine last season still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. No telling how Glavine feels right now about the way the Braves treated him; kicking him out of the organization, to the curb like a discarded tallboy can was simply unforgivable.<\/p>\n

If Glavine wants to remain in baseball in some capacity, I hope the Braves will do the right thing this time, to make amends for the way they handled things last year. It would be too much for me to take to see Glavine show up as a pitching coach, consultant, etc for any team other than the Braves.<\/p>\n
