GLAVINE: 1 MORE YEAR (RR)

“I’m having as much fun as I’ve had in a long time, and that’s a big factor for me,’’ Glavine told The Post on Sunday night. “It’s a fun team to come to the ballpark with every day. All the factors are there [to coming back].’’

It’s likely Glavine will decline his option with the Mets and sign a new contract with the club for 2008 in the $12 million range. There’s always the chance the Braves, who were beaten 3-2 by the Mets last night at Shea, could go after Glavine again, but Atlanta has not come up with the money in the past, and that is not expected to change. Glavine’s offseason home is in Georgia, but Glavine has found a new home in New York, and next year would be his sixth season with the Mets.

Glavine seems like he wants to stay with the Mets rather than sign with Atlanta, which was clearly his preference last year. The Mets could potentially have a logjam next season when it comes to starting pitchers with Pedro, Duque, Glavine, Perez, Duque, Pelfrey and Humber.
