Starting Pitcher: Andy Pettitte’s 3-yr Offer

Free-agent LHP Andy Pettitte has a three-year, $36 million offer from an ‘unnamed team,’ reports Jon Heyman at SI.com.

The Yankees have been waiting for Pettitte to accept a one-year, $10–million offer, Heyman says.

…umm, crazy thought…but, is there any chance that the Mets are the ‘unnamed team,’ since they are supposedly seeking a front-end, left-handed starting pitcher

According to Heyman, “If Pettitte doesn’t ever take the Yankees’ longstanding offer, the Yankees will consider either making an offer to Ben Sheets or resuming discussions with Derek Lowe to round out their revamped rotation.”

Speaking of starting pitchers…

The Phillies have re-signed LHP Jamie Moyer to a two-year deal, according to a team press release.

Also, the Phillies signed Chan-Ho Park to a one-year, $2.5 million deal, reports the Philadelphia Daily News.
