Son of Braves legend signed to minor league contract

The son of a Braves pitching legend is joining the organization.

Peyton Glavine, the son of Tom Glavine, has signed a minor-league contract with the Braves, according to multiple reports Monday. The younger Glavine is a 26-year-old left-handed pitcher.

A Blessed Trinity graduate, Glavine was taken in the 37th round of the 2017 MLB Draft. He spent the 2018, 2019 and 2021 seasons at Auburn instead, before signing with the Nationals as a free agent.
