Updates on soon-to-be ex-Yankees

According to MLB.com's Joe Frisaro, Carl Pavano met with the Marlins, and his agent Tom O'Connell feels the conversations went "well." Pavano, as you may remember, pitched for the Marlins before signing a four-year deal with the Yankees.

O'Connell said "quite a few teams" are interested in Pavano, including the Red Sox. As you also may remember, Pavano was drafted by the Red Sox before being sent to the Montreal Expos as part of the Pedro Martinez trade.

On the Jason Giambi front - Giambi had dinner with the Rays last night, and Andrew Friedman, the Rays' executive vice president of baseball operations, said both sides are interested.
