The Mets shored up their rotation by re-signing Tom Glavine to a one year, $10.5 million deal.  Glavine had a very good year for the Mets last year and the it looks like they’re hoping Glavine has at least one more year in the tank.  The other team courting Glavine was the Atlanta Braves, Glavine’s former team so the Mets may have also hurt a primary competitor by pre-empting their signing.

Initially it sounded like a lot of money but these days (or rather, this season), $10.5 for a middle of the rotation starter isn’t too bad.  Hopefully Minaya knows what he’s doing and it’s money well spent.
