I can’t say I have been counting on this, but this does not shock me (Davidoff Twitter) at all:
Andy Pettitte is leaning toward a 2011 return to the #Yankees, according to an industry source.
Qualifies as news, I guess. It’d be great to have Andy back for a final go-round. Although his leverage would be infinitely higher if the Yanks didn’t land Cliff Lee.
Oh, maybe you heard this today, too:
An industry source said Monday the Yankees have offered Cliff Lee nearly $140 million over six years, but Lee continues to hold out for a seventh year. Neither Lee’s camp nor the Yankees would confirm those numbers. The Boston Globe has reported the Yankees offered as much as $120 million over five years.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Six years is a lot; seven is crazy for a 32 year old. At some point, this deck of high priced cards is going to collapse, or someone’s going to be eating a ton of dead cash.
