I thought there was a degree of ill will between the Yankees front office and Pettitte. Apparently not enough to keep him from signing a one year contract with the pinstripers. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed, as the deal isn't yet official.
I pledge to you, the Crawfish Boxes public, that I will not make another Yankee related post for the foreseeable future. Two posts in two days makes me feel a little dirty...
***HLP Update (3:13 PM)***
ESPN is now saying it's a deal for $5.5 million...roughly the same as what Wolf/Garland/Looper are asking for, apparently.

I was really hoping that the Astros could get Pettitte.
He’d probably be as good as Wolf, and he wouldn’t cost us a draft pick. That would be kickass.

The report I saw...
contract is a base of $6 million with incentives up to $12 million.

Here's the latest report (4:30 CST on Monday)
NEW YORK — Andy Pettitte and the New York Yankees agreed Monday to a $5.5 million, one-year contract that brings the left-hander back to New York.
Pettitte can make an additional $6.5 million on performance bonuses and bonuses based on time on the active roster.

Damnit
Why could we not have offered that?!?!

I'm pretty sure
that’s the question I’ve been asking myself throughout this whole offseason.

Yeah
But as the 11th hour approaches or passes us by, the inflection on that is a lot more desperate than it was in December.
