Yankees Sign Andy Pettitte to Minor League Contract

ByEdward Pizzarello

I never saw this coming.  ESPN is reporting that the Yankees have signed Andy Pettitte to a one-year deal.

I was very sorry to see Andy retire last year.  I thought he still had something left in the tank.  He’s not a #1 starter anymore, but I think he could be a serviceable #3 or #4 in a rotation.  Of course, now that the Yankees signed Pineda and Koruda, I don’t really know where Andy fits.  Maybe he gets the nod over Garcia for the 4th spot in the rotation?  I don’t view him as a likely long-relief candidate, but Garcia could be.

At any rate, it’s nostalgic to see Andy in pinstripes again, if just a few years past his glory days.

My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury. I also enjoy taking us on the occasional detour to explore the inner workings of the travel industry.
