Pavano to be traded?

George King reports that the Yankees may be auditioning Carl Pavano to potential trade partners. As King notes, If the Yanks will swallow $15MM or so of Pavano's $23MM over the next two
seasons, they can clear a spot for Phil Hughes and pick up a prospect.
The Yanks (and lots of scouts) apparently believe Hughes is ready to be one of their best starters right now.
Pavano didn't embarrass himself or get injured facing the tough Phillies
lineup this afternoon. He faced off with Cole Hamels, allowing one run
in two innings of work. The Cardinals and Rockies have shown interest in
the past.
Pavano only recorded 16 strikes out of the 33 pitches he threw.
