Kudos is deserved to the Atlanta Braves‘ brass, which sent 44-year-old, surefire Hall of Fame starter Tom Glavine packing after he completed his rehab assignment in the minors. This was an incredibly unpopular move, especially after the team failed to meet starter John Smoltz’s demands before he signed with the Boston Red Sox in the offseason. Want more? Keep reading…
