The 40-year-old Glavine, who has a player option for his services and a $14 million team option that the Mets have until Nov. 20 to pick up, is still trying to decide whether he wants to finish his career with the Mets or with the Atlanta Braves. Glavine, who spent 16 seasons with the Braves before signing with the Mets prior to the 2003 season, still makes his home in suburban Atlanta, where his family spends most of the season. Just 10 victories shy of 300, Glavine has said that, if he remains healthy, 2007 will be his final season. "I don't see anything happening in the near future," agent Gregg Clifton said by phone from his Scottsdale, Ariz., office. "Tom continues to consider his options and continues to discuss the situation with his family. "Similar to when he made the decision to join the Mets, Tom is a very thoughtful and thorough person. He's just taking his time." It's likely that the Mets will also let their deadline pass and that Glavine, who was 15-7 with a 3.82 ERA for the NL East champs last season, will make his decision some time before the start of next month's winter meetings.

Why do I have the feeling that this is going to drag on as long as possible, only for him to end up returning to the Mets and leave us scrambling for a 'plan B'?
