Pettitte returns

The Yankees and Andy Pettitte have agreed to a $5.5 million guaranteed deal. Andy can make an extra $6.5 million in incentives, which would push the contract to $12 million (a $2 million increase from the original $10 million offer). The Yankees have to be pleased with this outcome. While incentives can sometimes be problematic, getting Pettitte on board for a relatively cheap base salary and finalizing the ’09 rotation was obviously important, especially with spring training on the horizon.
It’ll be interesting to see how the incentives pan out.
