http://zellspinstripeblog.com/2008/12/03/pettitte-rejects-yankees-10-million-offer-pettitte-a-phony/I’m a big fan of Andy’s..so I won’t start with the name calling…haha, but Joel Sherman thinks Andy Pettitte is a phony if he leaves the Yankees.
Andy Pettitte lied and cheated, but the Yankees stood by him anyway. They invited him back to the Yankees with open arms. Now the time has come..where Andy wants to be a Yankee & the Yankees want him back, but he isn’t willing to take a pay cut. He made $16 million last year and he didn’t play very well. The Yankees want him to take a pay cut, but he isn’t budging.
According to sources, Andy was offered $10 million from the NY Yankees to return next year, but he rejected the offer. The Yankees not offering him arbitration makes Pettitte more available to other teams. Now other clubs don’t need to give up first-round draft picks for him. A lot of people didn’t even want Andy back, so I wonder what the reaction will be if he leaves.
