<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Report: Glavine, Mets talking two-year, $25M dealESPN.com news servicesTom Glavine won 15 games for the Mets and anchored a pitching staff that was decimated by injuries for the postseason stretch. Now it appears New York is ready to reward the 20-year veteran.Glavine and the Mets are "deep in discussions" on a two-year, $25 million contract, according to a report in the New York Daily News.Glavine was reportedly considering a return to the Braves to be closer to his family, still living in the Atlanta area.Both the Mets and Glavine have options on Glavine's contract for the 2007 season but have insisted that they want a mutual agreement.The Mets' ace is 48-48 with a 3.85 ERA in four seasons with the team. He posted a 15-7 record with a 3.82 ERA in 198 innings in 2006 and pitched 13 scoreless innings over his first two postseason starts before allowing three runs in four innings and suffering a defeat in Game 5 of the NL Championship Series.Glavine is 290-191 for his career with a 3.46 ERA.http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2645628</div>Personally, I dont like it. That's alot of money to be guaranteeing a 40 year old. Id much rather give him a 1 year deal, or just look for another option with that 12.5 million personally. Don't Get me wrong, Glavine is a great pitcher and I'd love to have him, but I dont see how it is in the Mets best Interest to be Guaranteeing 25 million over 2 years to a pitcher who will be 41 in the Spring.
