Cashman Back On The Plane
The Post has the scoop on this one. Brian Cashman again left Vegas via private jet to an unknown destination earlier today. Apparently, he was headed to a meeting with Andy Pettitte.
The Post says the message he carried with him was a $10M offer to fill the last rotation spot available (This is assuming they land A.J. Burnett, I suppose). The Post makes it sound like a take it, or leave situation, but I think that's highly doubtful. There's no reason for the Yanks to treat Pettitte like that. If he says no to $10M, fine, you let him go out and get more from someone else, but there's no need to shut the door.
Personally, I hope he turns it down and the Yanks shift their attention to Ben Sheets, Randy Wolf, Oliver Perez or Jon Garland, in that order. (hat tip MLBTR)
I don't think anyone would be mad at signing him for $10M for 1 year. That means he'd holding Phil's spot.
Yep. I don't really want Pettitte back, but you can't argue w/ the price or the length. Maybe he'll bounce back.
We all thought Moose was cooked before last season, so maybe Pettite can turn it around.
That said, I won't cry if he lands elsewhere. One year isn't a long commitment, but there's still Hughes and Kennedy as a possible fifth starter.

CMW
AJ
Joba
Hughes/Kennedy/whoever
Sorry, I'd give CMW the nod over AJ for that second position unless he's outpitched in training camp. Let's see they both look for that second position.
