Braves president John Schuerholz apologized to Tom Glavine on Friday afternoon, in the wake of the pitcher's angry comments over his release. Schuerholz said that he didn't say enough to explain to Glavine how much he has meant to the organization in a meeting on Wednesday. "I want to offer an apology to Tommy," Schuerholz said. "We made our decision, but the environment and the tone and the manner at the end of it didn't feel comfortable to me. I tossed and turned pretty much all night long really, after we finished our meeting with Tommy, thinking about here's this guy who has meant so much to our franchise, to the game of baseball, Hall of Famer, represented our city in grand fashion, and the meeting ended in a way that didn't make me feel good. I felt like I owed Tommy an apology on behalf of our organization and from me." He added that he left Glavine a voicemail apologizing and said the pitcher had reached out in return.
