Glavine Back in Atlanta

Tom Glavine is headed back to Atlanta after siging a 1 year $8 million deal with the Braves. This is something that nobody could have seen coming when Glavine left the Braves to sign with the Mets 5 years ago. It is clear that he took a hometown discount to return to the Braves. He could have stayed with the Mets if he had picked up his player option for $13 million but instead chose to accept a buyout of $2 million. Glavine never really wanted to leave the Braves but 5 years ago he was not ready to accept less money to play for the Braves the way he is today. I guess after 5 years with the Mets taking less money to play for the Braves was something Glavine was very eager to do.
