Braves Could Use Melky To Get Uggla

If not Cabrera, the Braves could use another outfielder to land a slugger.

Source: Braves Near Deal With Glaus

Troy Glaus and the Braves have reached a tentative agreement on a contract, a source told ESPN.com on Wednesday.

Glaus must undergo a physical exam before the deal can be completed. The physical is more than a formality because of his injury history, and is not expected to take place until after Christmas and possibly New Year's, so no announcement is imminent.
