11/08: Pitcher News: Pettitte Wants One Year, Moose Told Girardi of Retirement Plans, Jeter Talking With CC
Posted by: Patrick
A number of interesting tidbits came out of last night's gala for the Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation, as covered by Kat O'Brien, the AP and Ed Price. But, some of the most meaningful was released to three pitchers we're tracking: Andy Pettitte, Mike Mussina and CC Sabathia.
Despite some "rumblings" to the contrary, Pettitte says he is only after a one year deal. But, he has not heard anything from the club.
"I let them know a few weeks ago I’d like to come back and play," Pettitte told the AP. "My agent said he would call me if he had heard anything and he hasn’t heard anything."
Joe Girardi revealed that, after the season, Mike Mussina told him that he planned to retire. He hasn't spoken with Moose since and the Yankees are still waiting to hear his final word.
Finally, Derek Jeter has spoken to CC Sabathia a few times. He says that he's been answering questions, but that he doesn't feel the need to pitch New York to anyone.
