Buzz: Pavano Put On Waivers
George A. King III of the New York Post reports the Yankees have placed RHP Carl Pavano on waivers.
Pavano, who is due $1.83 million the rest of the season and can be a free-agent at the end of the season, made his first start in nearly two years August 23 versus the Orioles, allowing three runs on seven hits over five innings.
With John Maine possibly being shut down for the season, why not take a chance on Pavano if he becomes available to the Mets through waivers. Pavano does have a connection to Omar Minaya when he briefly played under Minaya in Montreal in 2002 before being traded to the Marlins.
Or, as Adam Schein says on SNY’s Loud Mouths, “it’s Carl Pavano!”
