According to FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal, Andy Pettite has had multiple discussions with his old skip, Joe Torre, about joining forces for a third time in 2009, this time in Dodger blue. Rosenthal goes on to say that the Dodgers could be a suitable alternative to the Yankees if he "does not feel completely wanted."

Andy Pettitte in L.A.? I can't quite see it myself, but to my surprise, apparently 59% of the 18,000+ people responding to the poll on the site of the article at the time of this post disagree with me. This is something I can only see happening if the Yankees completely slam the door on Pettitte (i.e. blatantly tell him to his face that he is "not wanted"). That is something that I really couldn't fathom, especially considering Moose's retirement, which has left the Yankee rotation with only two definite starters.

The only way I don't see Pettitte returning to the Bronx next year is if somehow the Yankees land the entire trio of Sabathia, Burnett and Lowe, or if Pettitte has a change of heart and decides to retire.
