Big News On Glavine

The New York Daily News is reporting that the Mets and Tom Glavine and close to coming to terms on a Two Year, $25 Million contract. Glavine is 48-48 with a 3.85 ERA in four seasons with the team. He was 15-7 with a 3.82 ERA in 198 innings in 2006 and threw 13 scoreless innings over his first two postseason starts. Glavine also has 290 Wins, just 10 short of 300, this deal would all but guarantee Glavine would get number 300 with the Mets.

This is a pretty surprising story. I didn't expect Glavine to pitch past 2007, but i'm not surprised. He throws so easy that he is not really wearing himself out. This will also help with all the young pitchers on the Mets that are coming up, to have such an accomplished veteran pitcher as a mentor. I would not mind at all if Glavine were to come back for 2 more years. He is a great guy to have around the clubhouse and he showed how well he can pitch in October.
