Pavano strikes out N.Y.

The Yankees and Mets can scratch Carl Pavano off their free agent lists. Pavano, who fired his previous agents at IMG and is said to be shifting to Ron Simon, has privately told friends he has no interest in pitching in New York. He is said to favor staying in Florida (if the Marlins get a stadium deal approved) or, failing that, staying east (as in the Orioles or Red Sox). Pavano is perhaps the best free agent pitcher out there.

*******************

Hmm... I guess the ever-diminishing luster of playing in NYC is really going to attract those free agents, eh? He wants to play for the SOX and not the Yanks? I wonder why? It couldn't be because of an ownership that respects it's players and the chance to be part of a TEAM or anything, could it? ;D ;D ;D

Pavano is a local new englander and lifelong Sox fan. He hates the Yanks and does not want to pitch for a loser.

Pavano came up with the Sox and was sent to Montreal as part of the Pedro deal. How sweet would it be if he came back home in his prime?

tony armas jr was also in that deal. I wouldnt mind getting both of those guys back though it was a great trade for the sox. Not as good as the heathcliff Slocumb for Varitek AND Lowe trade but a good one.
