11:30 EST. Speculation so far is that he might be announcing he's either done for the year or even retiring right now. I guess we'll see.....

ATLANTA -- John Smoltz has said that he'll be content if he never throws another pitch. Now, just two days after he attempted to alleviate stress on his shoulder with a move to the bullpen, the Braves veteran pitcher finds this to be a more defined possibility.
The Braves have scheduled an 11:30 a.m. ET news conference at Turner Field and at that time, they are expected to discuss Smoltz's future. There has been talk that he will need to undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder.

They just said on First Take that he will have season ending surgery - take it for what it is because Skip Bayless was on camera when it was said.

Nothing to do with Skip so I'm lost why you even said that. Dana reported the news stating it came from an AP report....

I discount anything said with Skip Bayless in the vicinity or anything said by a show that employs him.
