"The first step is complete for free agent left-hander Andy Pettitte's return to the world champion New York Yankees next season as they seek to repeat. Pettitte, who has indicated a preference to play for the Yankees if he came back for a 16th season, has decided to pitch in 2010, major league sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney at baseball's winter meetings. For the 37-year-old left-hander, it's now just a matter of working out a deal with the Yankees, the sources told Olney Monday morning (ESPN)."
Pettitte is not what he once was, but he is a solid middle of the rotation guy (14-8 with a 4.16 ERA) and he is always there for the Yankees when they need him in the playoffs (He went 4-0 in five starts in the postseason with a 3.52 ERA). The Yankees will obviously be very strong again next season. The question is are the Red Sox ready to pony up the money to get back in the race?
