The NY Daily News first reported Andy Pettitte told Brian Cashman he decided to sit out for the start of 2011, but that was a misunderstanding. But here’s the latest from Cashman:
“Nothing new or different,” Cashman said. “Exactly what I’ve been saying for the past month or two months.”
So, it was definitely a false alarm. There is still hope for Pettitte to return, and this “misunderstanding” does not mean Pettitte is more likely to retire.
Waiting for Pettitte’s decision is holding back Cashman from upgrading the pitching staff, don’t you think?
