Really sad. Hopefully he's not done and going out this way.

Yeah, the Braves could really use another playoff-experienced arm for the stretch.

How great would it be to get him back for the stretch run just to give some innings, save a couple of games, and show these young arms how to handle the pressure of a pennant/playoff race?

Does CUT = Designated for Assignment?

Cut to me means he takes his money and leaves, able to sign again. Designated fo Assignment does notmean this. Just wondering.

Yeah, he was designated for assignment. Here's a pretty helpful wiki entry on the issue.

Mash for a lesson in baseball economics.

Smoltz has refused to be assigned to the minors and now the Red Sox have to release or trade him. According to an article on yahoo the Dodgers and Cardinals are interested in acquiring him.
