Tom Glavine is feeling a little sore after having season-ending elbow surgery and he's unsure about whether he'll pitch next season, according to Associated Press.
If he does decide to return, it will be for his 23rd Major League season.
"We've got a good five weeks here for me to rehab and get a good sense of how I'm recovering and what it looks like," Glavine said. "Then I think we will all have a better idea."
Glavine is not under contract for the 2009 season.

Sources told ESPN's Peter Gammons and ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney on Tuesday that the Red Sox are on the verge of acquiring Mark Kotsay from the Braves.
Boston is talking to Kotsay, who was held out of the Braves lineup on Tuesday, about his limited no-trade clause. ESPN.com has learned that Kotsay cleared waivers earlier this month, so the Braves can trade him to any team.
