According to Rotoworld.com, Jorge Posada has stated that he thinks Yankees’ starting pitcher Andy Pettitte is leaning towards retirement. Apparently Posada has been talking with the lefy starter at least once a week since the season ended.
Pettitte would be leaving $16 milllion on the table if he decided to call it quits. Now I know that Andy isn’t driven by money like most pro athletes, but still, that’s an awfully lot of *guaranteed* cash to walk away from. And he has already stated that his only options are coming back to the Yanks next season, or retirement. He will not be pitching for his hometown Astros again. We shall see where this story goes…
