Mark Bowman, of MLB.com, reports free-agent SP Tom Glavine (Braves) said he is not officially retired, but the likelihood of him returning in 2010 is very slim. "I haven't officially (retired) yet," Glavine said. "I don't know why. I think if anybody has any common sense, they can figure out that I'm probably not going to pitch again." When Glavine retires, he is expected to enter the Atlanta Braves' organization in some capacity.

Updating previous reports, Gregg Clifton, the agent for free-agent SP Tom Glavine (Braves), has spoken with a labor attorney and the players' union about possibly filing a grievance against the Atlanta Braves, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com. Players cannot be released by teams due to financial reasons, according to the collective-bargaining agreement, and Glavine would have received a $1 million bonus once he made the big league roster. He would have made an additional $1.25 million for 30 days on the roster and another $1.25 million for 90 days on the roster. However, Braves general manager Frank Wren claimed Glavine was released for performance reasons rather than financial reasons.
