Looks like the multi-year contract want thing has been blown out of proportion (surprise!), and from what is being reported after actually speaking to the relevant parties Andy is just waiting to hear back from the team. From Ed Price: Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told reporters at the GM meetings this week that “Andy [...]

Andy Update — Cashman Speaks!
From the AP, via ESPN: New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman wants pitcher Andy Pettitte to stay with the team for the 2009 season. The 36-year-old left-hander said near the end of the season that he’d likely want to remain with the Yankees, and he confirmed that decision Tuesday in an interview with KRIV [...]
If That's The Case, Farewell
Though Andy Pettitte Andy Pettitte has told the Yankees he wants to pitch again, the Yankees are hearing whispers the veteran left-hander would like a two-year deal. If that’s the case, the Yankees may balk. I was in the middle of writing something up about how Andy’s defense independent pitching stats indicate he’d perform pretty [...]
It Looks Like Andy Is Coming Back
From Buster Olney, who is sometimes right and sometimes wrong: As the New York Yankees began a round of scouting meetings this week to discuss the future of the team, they know that veteran left-hander Andy Pettitte intends to pitch in 2009, and his intention is to pitch for them. Sources said on Wednesday that [...]
Andy Shut Down Officially
Andy’s been shut down for 2009. From nj.com: The Yankees announced Wednesday that Pettitte, whose left shoulder has been bothering him for at least a month, will not pitch again this season. “I’ve thrown enough innings,” Pettitte said before Wednesday night’s 6-2, 10-inning victory over the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, a game won on [...]
Andy Is Pitching The Last Game At Yankee Stadium
Bernie is coming back for the FINAL GAME(TM) and Andy is pitching it. The pregame ceremony should be awesome and there is nobody I would rather have pitching it on this team than Andy but it would break my heart if Good Andy doesn’t show up for the game. I really desperately want him to [...]
How Many Times Is This Going To Happen?
Andy Pettitte, after getting screwed by his defense in the first inning (haha Yankees defense haha), goes 5 strong innings afterward and is at about 100 pitches. Joe Girardi–after insane bullpen machinations the last few games–brings him out for another inning in a close (4-2) game. Andy Pettitte, being tired, doesn’t pitch very well. Oh, [...]
Crafty Lefty Beats Power Lefty
Nice game for Andy, tonight, though it would have been better without the two homeruns. Neither of them were off bad pitches this time, and honestly David Wright has been absolutely smashing lefties this year so I was worried about it all game. He probably could have gone for 7 innings (he had only thrown [...]
Going To Games Makes It Hard To Write About The Games
Phew, I had a long week at Yankee Stadium as I often do when the Yankees are playing against non big-ticket teams. I saw some good, some bad, and had some death wishes. Here’s my observations on this week: Jorge Posada being back in the lineup is great, and really strengthens the bottom of the [...]
