11/10: Andy Pettitte Files For Free Agency

Posted by: Patrick

In a move that quite possibly means nothing, Andy Pettitte has filed for free agency. The Yankees have exclusive rights to him through Thursday.

The Yankees have through Thursday to exclusively negotiate with Pettitte, before the league's free agency filing period ends and all other clubs can discuss financial details with him. With that deadline now merely days away, the Yankees might soon risk alienating a pitcher who has already declared his intentions.

"I think my family has fallen back in love with New York again, being back up here," Pettitte said at season's end. "We bought a house, and I think my wife and kids are extremely comfortable up there. Things are different than I thought."

Pettitte has announced his intention to return to the Yankees rotation rather early and I think is a bit spurned by how long the Yankees are taking. Could this mean they are looking at multiple starters?(C.C, Burnett? Lowe, Sheets?). Who knows, but Andy could certainly round out the #4 or 5 spot nicely and have a rebound year.

Thanks for the comment. It could mean that they are waiting to see what Mike Mussina decides before going forward.
