<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><u>In the Cards?</u>Dec 11 - According to Newday, the Cardinals reportedly have asked to view Carl Pavano's expansive medical records, a sign that the Yankees might be able to get out from under his albatross of a contract.The Rockies previously expressed interest in the right-hander, but talks broke down because they wanted the Yanks to eat most of the $22.95 million left in the final two years of his four-year, $39.95-million deal.Finances figure to be an obstacle in potential talks with the Cards, making it far more likely that Pavano will have to prove his health by pitching regularly during spring training to increase his trade value.The Yankees no longer have to count on Pavano as part of their 2007 rotation because they have landed Andy Pettitte and the rights to Japanese left-hander Kei Igawa. They'd love to trade Pavano, who has been a major disappointment. He hasn't pitched since June 2005 because of myriad injuries, including those incurred in an auto accident that he withheld from the team.</div>
