"Having missed most of the season's final three months with an ailing right shoulder, Thomson has indicated that he'd be willing to return to Atlanta at a much lower cost and with the responsibility of serving as a reliever."

I don't see any reason why Atlanta wouldn't re-sign Thomson, given this situation. At worst, he'd have another injury-filled season, but the Braves wouldn't be paying much. At best, he'd return to his usual consistent ways and be a fill-in if one of our rotation members gets hurt.
