Pettitte unhappy, Astros speculation restarts
River Avenue Blues — The lede in Ken Davidoff’s latest column says it all: “Andy Pettitte is extremely unhappy with how his negotiations have gone with the Yankees, and the lefthander might be softening on his opposition to rejoining the Astros.” Once Pettitte rejected the Yankees $10 million offer, this development became inevitable.

In fat, as ...

Andy Pettitte considering the Astros…?
Zell's Pinstripe Blog — Now that Andy has rejected the Yankees $10M offer, he is thinking about whether or not he has other options . The Astros can certainly be one of them because his family is in Texas. Andy is also very good friends with Houston Astros pitcher, Roy Oswalt. Baseball people thought that a deal with the Yankees was inevitable, but things have fallen apart since then.

I bet he feels like he got a low-ball offer ...
