If he still has something left, can teach the youngsters a few things (especially in a playoff race) and can be had for a song, I'd be interested.

He was only slated to make a max of $4.5M from the braves this year. I would imagine, if he would come here, we could get him for a max of $2M or so for the rest of the year. Would be a great 3-4 starter and solid mentor for the young kids!!

Shouldn't that be Harrison

Wasn’t the most used MLB comp for Harrison always Glavine?

Weird

If you thought Chipper/Larry was pissed about Smoltz being let go he’s going to hit the roof about this one.

Remember Red, hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

Well, it was in Low A

haha

surely there is more to the story, velocity (which I doubt with him), discomfort, maybe he didn’t want to play anymore, but I would definitely give him a look, just to keep him from someone else in the AL seeing as is he is the kind of pitcher that absolutely kills us, soft tossing lefty that has “bendy” stuff
