... fashion from now on (you'll see what I mean). Not that it really matters anyway, since most of these rumors will be much ado about nothing. Besides, i'll do a full analysis if a transaction actually does occur, so it's sorta redundant to give full breakdowns of what some unnamed executive farted in the direction of a rumor whore journalist (here's looking at you, Ken Rosenthal).

And if New York doesn't deliver, Pettitte, who won 14 games last year, is said to be leaning toward retirement rather than pitching for another team -- Torre's Dodgers included.
