Andy Pettitte is not a former Yankee anymore. Pettitte and the Yankees have
agreed to a one-year, $16 million contract, which includes a player option
for $16 million in the second year, according to Randy Hendricks, Pettitte’s
agent.

After Pettitte decided against retiring, he also decided against staying with
his hometown Houston Astros and opted to return to the Yankees. A popular
player with his teammates and fans, Pettitte was 149-78 in nine seasons with
the Yankees and was a crucial part of four championship teams.

Pettitte left the Yankees after the 2003 season and signed a free agent
contract with the Astros. He was 37-26 with the Astros, who lost to the
Chicago White Sox in the 2005 World Series. Once Pettitte bypassed
retirement, he wanted to return to the more intense environment surrounding
the Yankees and to a team that probably has a better chance than Houston of
winning a World Series title.

Now that the Yankees have added Pettitte, there will be speculation about
whether Roger Clemens, Pettitte’s close friend and another former Yankee,
might also sign a deal to return to New York. Clemens will probably take a
lot longer than Pettitte to make up his mind about 2007.
