Andy Says No?

According to the Daily News, Andy Pettitte has rejected the Yankees offer of $10 million. It's hard to see how this gets resolved in a positive way. Pettitte obviously feels like he is worth more than that and I can't fault the Yankees for disagreeing. I also think the article makes an excellent point about the timing of Pettitte's deal last year and his HGH admission. (well first admission)
