Turns out Andy might not have been offered anything after all.

I don’t see it going to $15. I think Pettitte just doesn’t want another paycut which is what $10 million would be after he made $10.5 in 2009. I’d guess it’ll be between $11-$12 million.

$15 million is fantasyland for Pettitte, and I’d probably be closer to to $10 mill that $12 if I were making the offer.

Oh and btw, the White Rat made it. Whitey Hertzog was elected to the Hall of Fame (along with umpire Doug Harvey) by the Veterans Committee. Yankee and Yankee related figures who missed the cut included Jacob Ruppert, Billy Martin, Gabe Paul and Bill White. Just thought you’d like to know.
