AP It may be time for the Yankees and Kevin Millwood to end their short and uneventful marriage.
According to Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York, the veteran right-hander was shelled for six earned runs over just two innings Thursday evening in what might have been his final start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Millwood has a clause in his contract with the Yankees that will allow him to opt out on May 1. With no real need for a shaky and aging starter, the Bombers might go ahead and cut ties before then.
Millwood’s agent has probably already begun the process of finding his client a spot within another organization. The 36-year-old turned in a 5.10 ERA over 31 starts last season for the Orioles.

uyf1950… I agree with you 100% The Yanks got real lucky with Garcia and Colon for as long as they last, but Millwood is a horse of a different color. Let’s see what shakes loose by the trade deadline. Take care my friend.

well there is a team a little further north but not quite Canada that’s still under 500 that may be able to use him.
and when i say a little further north i mean it geographically… in standing they are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY south.

The guy was done last year. He was like 3-18 for crying out loud. Have a nice retirement, Kevin.

Dang – I was really looking forward to this guy getting hammered by the Seattle Mariners. Just so long as the Mets don’t pick him up.

He was a BUM in Baltimore. Looks like he’s still a BUM!

Geez. The guy may be past his prime but he’s had a great career. Show him a little respect. It’s not like he cheated and is about to break one of Lou Gehrig;s records or anything, like some folks on the Yankees roster.
