Pettitte just another greedy athlete
—
The New York Times reports this morning that Andy Pettitte has rejected the Yankees’ one-year, $10 million offer. Clearly, all of Pettitte’s blather about wanting to play only for the Yankees in 2009, and about how he didn’t really care about the money is just a bunch of nonsense.
