12/04: Yankees Have Offered Pettitte $10 Million; He's Looking for $16
Posted by: Patrick
Jack Curry of the Times reports that the Yankees have extended a one year, $10 million dollar to free agent Andy Pettitte. However, his agents are insisting that he wants the same salary that he had in 2008, $16 million. For his part, Pettitte maintains that he wants to remain in the Bronx.
"I mean, to tell you the truth, like I’ve told you all a hundred times, I’ve made it loud and clear where I’d like to play at," Pettitte told Curry. "I’m just basically sitting here letting my agents do their job really."

The media for the last week or so has made it sound as if Pettitte and his agents have the upper hand in these negotiations. They don't. No other team is going to pay him $16M or anywhere close to that.
