If the Yankees can't get Pettitte, I'd like to see them go after Sheets for a one-year deal




Yanks remain in the mix for Pettitte

Luring back Andy Pettitte still remains a possibility for the Yankees.

The New Jersey Record is reporting the Yankees are still having discussions with Pettitte. The question remains if the veteran left-hander will accept a one-year, $10.5 million deal. There is a belief that Pettitte will pass on the offer.

The Yankees also remain in the mix for Ben Sheets. If neither Pettitte nor Sheets signs, New York appears ready to go into Spring Training with Phil Hughes vying for the fifth-starter spot with Alfredo Aceves, Ian Kennedy and Jason Johnson, a non-roster invitee.

In 2008, Pettitte was 14-14 with a 4.54 ERA in 33 starts. The veteran has logged at least 200 innings in four straight seasons, and five of his last six.
