In light of the backlash against the Braves for their handling of Tom Glavine's release, team president John Schuerholz has issued an apology.But he could conceivably have to offer up more than that.
Glavine could pursue a grievance through the players' union, claiming he was released for financial and not performance reasons, though it would likely be a very difficult case to prove.
The Braves have been adamant that they believe Glavine could not succeed with a fastball in the 82-mph range. But Glavine, 43, was never expected to build up any more velocity than that.
