I have stated before how important it is for the Yankees to have Andy Pettitte come back for 2008 to solidify the rotation.

My question: If the Yankees acquire Johan Santana how does Andy not return?

The Yankees brought back Mariano and Posada and brought in Joe Girardi, all of which are guys Andy has won championships with. That had to have helped.

‘08 is the last year in Yankee Stadium, doesn’t he want to send it out the right way?

Wouldn’t adding Johan put Pettitte over the top and force him to return? I think so.
