Andy Pettitte has not yet decided if he will exercise the $16 million option in his contract for 2008, but does seem set in his decision that if he plays for anyone in 2008, it will be for the Yankees. He reiterated that point yesterday to a Houston television channel, as reported in
Newsday:
"The New York Yankees committed an awful lot of money to me and put it in my hands, gave me a player option and trusted me with that option," Pettitte told KRIV Tuesday. "It probably wouldn't be real honorable for me not to do anything other than if I shut it down, shut it down or go back and play for the New York Yankees."
