According to ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick, free agent lefty Tom Glavine is likely to make a decision within 36-48 hours on whether to take the Braves’ offer or move on. Crasnick describes the offer:

Sources said the Braves have offered Glavine a $1MM base salary, another $1MM if he’s on the Opening Day roster, and an additional $1MM after 60 days. Glavine is believed to be looking for some incentives that could kick in and increase the value of the deal if he’s able to make at least 25-30 starts. Glavine is also apparently willing to defer some salary to make a deal work with Atlanta.

I like the idea with Glavine wanting to defer the money which I had mention sometime back to get this done. It pretty clear that glavine wants to pitch for the braves this year to give the club flexibility to go get a LFer with the remaining amount of $$ left in the budget. I be more willing to give some incentives of 25-30 start 1 or 2 Mil bonus if that is deferred till 10’….

Sigh
