The Atlanta Journal-Constitution - Manager Bobby Cox has signed an extension with the Braves to manage through the 2009 season, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The one-year extension delays his retirement plans for at least another year.

"I'm very happy to come back," said Cox. "I've got a great wife; she gave me the OK. She wants the new furniture."

Cox, 67, will manage the Braves for the 28th season in 2008.

"I think he likes to talk about retiring, and then realizes what's he's talking about and comes to his senses," veteran pitcher Tom Glavine said, smiling. "Everybody knows how much he enjoys doing what he does and how much he enjoys being in the uniform." [READ]
