Glavine Close To Braves Return?

It appears the wheels are in motion for longtime Brave and former World Series MVP Tom Glavine to return to the Atlanta Braves.

Sources have told 11Alive Sports that Glavine, a free agent, would take a lot less money to play here in Atlanta. When reached at his Alpharetta home Monday night, Glavine said he couldn't comment on anything.

Teams cannot officially make contact with Glavine until the middle of the month.

11Alive Sports also learned the Astros and at least two other teams have made overtures at the 300 game winner.

Glavine said he would like to play here where he lives full time with his wife Christine and their children.
