Andy Pettitte has a relationship with Ranger president Nolan Ryan, so there was speculation at the GM meetings that, perhaps, Pettitte could wind up in Texas rather than New York. But a Ranger official said he sees almost no chance of that occurring.

No

HIGHLY unlikely...

Nope....Pettite will either retire or come back to the Yankees.

Another made up story from the NY Post.

Yeah...maybe Roger Clemens too...together again...and it feels so good...

Andy:

Freddy Mercury called, wants his overbite back.

Pettitte will not come back to the Yankees that is for sure. Sabathia, Burnett, Peavy, Lowe, Oliver Perez are on the Yankees radar. They will either pick up (3) of these free agents and add them to Chamberlain and Wang... or (2) and develop Hughes/Kennedy as the #5 starter.

And until they are sure, and they are not this year, that either can fill that role...Pettite for a year and an optional year...less money, keep him at home this time Yankees.

No way this happens. He will either be back in the Bronx or he will retire. I'm hoping he comes back for one year plus a team option.

Ugh
Perfect for Texas
Washed up Lefty, meet perennial loser

no way they guy is willing to take a pay cut to stay with the Yankees. Something you rarly see in todays baseball player.

He will go play with Joe Torre in LA for more than $10 mill

maybe not for that money, but probably the smartest post by a NOT spankee fan I have read all day. torre will gather as many of his but boys as possible for one last failed run before he reitres.

i don't think rangers will get pettite and pay him 10 mil, better get much younger pitcher maybe wolf much cheaper than andy. he will finish his career as a yankee...

Can Pettite wind up a Ranger? Yes. Does he drive a Ford Ranger? Perhaps. Will Andy appear on "Walker, Texas Ranger"? Doubtful. There we've taken care of the Andy Pettite/Ranger scenarios.
