Probably the Dodgers. Jason Schmidt part II. Fine by me... love Andy, but I want Sheets

if true, andy is a total phony.

I agree, he would be a total phony. The Yankees stood behind him with everything that went on last year. He made us look bad and now it's time for him to pay us back

The Yankees should offer him a one year deal with incentives with a second year club option for the same. Make these players work for their dollars!!!

Yankees, please get Texeira before the Red Sox do! The Red Sox are better right now and with the addition of Texeira and Lowe, the Yankees will be competing for the wild card! Expect injuries to Matsui, Damon, Pettitte (If signed), Posada, Jeter, Cameron (If signed), Rivera, Chamberlain, Hughes, Burnett and even Sabathia. Injuries have kept us down for eight years!

Hey Jay.. tell me what would YOU do if you had a three year offer at the end of your career?? You'd take it too and so would I. He has an obligation to his family, not Yankee fans.

....And I've been a Yankee fan since birth...1969.

You'd think the Yankees would have learned by now that spending ridiculous amounts of money to players who are just going to get injured (ie: damon, pavano, burnett) isn't going to get you a championship. Yet they did it again. They were all excited to not have to pay huge salaries to guys like Giambi, Pavano, and Abreu, and they've already re-spent that money on 2 guys. It's comical. When will they learn?

Then understand that for the past 2 seasons, we have "kept him out of retirement" for $16 million per season cause he ONLY wanted to be a Yankee. He has said he wants to return... but now that we are offering $10... he wants out. I agree... he has an obligation to his family... but he is a lier and a phoney... bottom line!

Sox made the 3 year offer and Andy is been seen in Boston today!!

everybody complaining bout the yankees


angels offered tex 160million
red sox paid mucho for dice pupu platter
red sox are offering 200 million
mets are spending

come on' get off the yankess everybody is just jealous your team dont spend

If I were the Yankees, I would give the guy a way

pettitte is not worth virtually anythign and it kind of seems like the Yankees were going to give pettitte a "you were a true yankee from the late 90s, so we feel bad for you now as an old man" contract - let the guy go!

talkingNYsports_dot_com has a poll right now about this

Absolutely, get Texeira. We need to put the ball in play. See if Manny will give us a discount, too! I also believe that the Yanks are dawdling on Lowe because they have no confidence in their middle infield to corral all those ground balls that'll be coming their way. Jeter's range is nil and he's begun having trouble with balls hit right at him. He can't play center?? We need Cameron? Hell, Mantle and Murcer both began as shortstops!

The Yankees have treated Pettitte terribly. They "stood by him" last season because they were desperate. They sign DL Burnett for $82.5 million and Ho Ho Sabathia for $160 million and then insult Pettitte with a one year $10 million offer. I hope he signs with the Red Sox, he will kill the Yankees if he does. Come North Andy and feel the love of a real sports town.

Totally fed up with the athlete who gushes over his team vs money! Petitte must have said 100 times how he'd pitch for the Yankees or retire. After the 2nd half of last year, he'd be lucky to get a $10million 1-year contract!!!!! After all the Yankees did for him during spring training last year... Better off with Sheets anyway.

Good, let Pettitte go to whoever else wants to pay him. He is long past being effective and I would much rather have Sheets or Lowe fill in that spot. Preferably Sheets.

Obligation to his family??????? LOL! In the last TWO years ha has made $32,000,000. It would take you 20 yrs. at 1,600,000 and forty at $800,0000 to make what he's made in the last two. What could his family possibly need? Get a clue and talk reality.

I think we need him... when was the last time he was seriously injured.. ot like sheets... second of all Pettite is way better than lowe.. a 35 yr old of nothing... third andy is a great vetg... hes been in playoffs and hes a lefty... he brings his fastball around 90-93 t6he lowest is about 88 when hes either changing speeds or just getting tired... he had a **** yr, wang was out, mussina finally got the picture and straightened himself out, and joba got into the rotation a bit to late then he was injured... joba needs someonr like pettite for about this season and probably next to learn a bit more...i think yanks shhould offer 12 mill or 13 not 10.... they also need to forget about that cameron dude hes 36, u already have 3 great outfielders, swisher, nady , and cabrera although he messed up ....but look at this hes young and still learning.. imaging when damons done...nady, swisher, and cabrera.. give him a chance 2 get back together.. cano fell into a slump 2.

So let me get this straight If the yankees raise thier offer to say $12 mill, Andy The all grateful Yankee will turn down 3 for $36. What a phony.

Whoever made that offer to Pettitte should be fired immediately. He has nothing left. Sign Sheets, use Hughes as your #5 starter, keep Joba as your 8th inning guy, and bring Teixeira to town.
