Pettitte signing inevitable
On Yankees.com they had a story that the Pettitte signing is inevitable. That no team is pursuing him and that he wants to pitch one year with the Yankees makes it look like he will be back in 2009.
Boras says he wants 195 million for Tex. Manny will easily want 3 years at 25 million a year. I doubt the Yankees will sign either of them at that rate. Maybe if the market falls they can swoop in. Cashman wants roster flexibility and build with youth. Signing Tex to a 10 year deal will go against exactly what Cashman is trying to do.
I am glad to see the Melky for “K” Cameron did not go through. The Yankees need guys who work the account and make contact, not 150 strikeout guys.
