Former American League home-run leader Troy Glaus has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Braves with a base salary of about $2 million.


A deal won't be announced until after the holidays, because Glaus must pass a physical with Braves doctors and couldn't schedule it on short notice before Christmas.Braves offices are closed until Jan. 4, and general manager Frank Wren had no comment on the Glaus matter.

The Braves apparently are confident that the 33-year-old former All-Star third baseman is fully recovered from January 2009 shoulder surgery and which position Glaus has played in only eight games in his career.
