Pavano Update: Will not make tonight’s start
According to Peter Abraham at his Lohud Blog Pavano will not make his scheduled start tonight for “personal reasons”. Team officials say it’s nothing physical but that Joe Torre will comment about it after the game. This is purely speculation but: perhaps a trade is on the horizon? If that’s the case, good riddance Carl.
That being said, hopefully nothing terrible has happened in Pavano’s life: I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. But with the way this guy has been with the Yankees, every time he fails to make a start there will always be speculation that it’s typical Pavano garbage.
Update-Also according to the Yankees Lohud Blog :
“He’s got a legitimate reason. Joe Torre told him to go take care of it. When he returns, to the degree he wants to, he can address it or not. He doesn’t have to. There’s somewhere he should be right now and that’s where he’s at. The important thing is to know that he really doesn’t need to be here tonight. It’s something that came up right before game time. Joe said to let him go and rightfully so. He’ll return here soon and it’s not an issue.”-Brian Cashman
