Tom Glavine is evenly straddling the fence between the Mets and Braves at the moment.

"I would say right now it's a pretty solid 50-50," Glavine said in a phone interview.

Glavine admitted the Mets own the "business" edge but the Braves have the advantage because his family is in Atlanta. He also said the choice is "truly a difficult decision," said he doesn't figure he will make a choice before Thanksgiving.

"I guess my feeling is I want to make a decision as quickly as I can," he said. "Obviously, I certainly have an interest in going back to the Mets and I certainly have an interest in exploring what's going on here in Atlanta, but I really can't do much on that end until after the 20th, when by all assumptions, the Mets are going to decline my option, which I expect them to and then go from there. But I certainly don't plan on dragging anything out longer than I need to or want to."
