Pavano to be released?

Is Carl Pavano's time in New York over?

From Joel Sherman:

There is a strong likelihood the Yanks will release Pavano before Nov. 20 so that they can use his 40-man roster spot for a player valuable to their future. Each team's 40-man roster must be set by that date in preparation for the Rule V draft on Dec. 6 at the Winter Meetings. (New York Post)

That's a shame.

This is a fun stat: Sherman noted that Pavano had as many wins in his Yankee career as Luis Vizcaino had from June 22 to July 21 last year.
