NOOOOOOOOOO!

Braves released Tom Glavine today, according to the very trustworthy Ken Rosenthal. Article here. I'm going to cry now.

Is it just me or did the timing of this seem...weird? I also am now wondering how long Medlen is in the rotation and when they call up Hanson...

Sad to see Tommy go, always been a fan :(

BTW, thanks for the tip, CA. :(

I was just so stunned I had to share with...someone! You seemed like the most logical choice

What in the world!? Somthin' is goin' down. ESPN said something about the Braves & financials.

This is going to be interesting!

This is pretty upsetting. I know Tommy's not the same Tommy from 10 years ago, but he was willing to pitch for virtually no money. I hope the Braves aren't putting their hopes on Medlen after one good start. Maybe he is awesome, but do we really know yet? I feel like this is a crappy thing to do do someone who's been a HUGE part of the Atlanta organization for so long. Not cool.

Lauren please excuse this but, Holy $hit.

Did they just say we have Nate McClouth now???

Jessica said...

OK - Nate McLouth is a pretty good pickup. That makes me feel a little better. But, only a little. I have a LOT of love in my heart for Tommy Glavine.

Jen said...

So sad. Tommy was always my favorite Braves pitcher. This hurts me more than when Smoltzie left.

Nate McClouth, huh? That's a pretty good move. He's a really solid player. I'm surprised we only gave up prospects for him. Deep down, I was really hoping Frenchy was part of the package, but I guess I'll have to wait for that. :)

If anyone is interested- Here is Bobby's take on releasing Glavine (he also talks a little about McLouth)- he looks devestated about it...clearly not his call...
