Andy Pettitte’s days as a Yankee are over. The Astros have scheduled a press conference at 11 a.m. Central time to announce they have signed Pettite to a three-year deal worth between $32 and $34 million.
The Yankees made an unsuccessful last-ditch to re-sign the lefty late Wednesday night, offering Pettitte, 31, a deal similar to the one he agreed to with Houston. In the end, however, Pettitte chose to sign with his hometown team.
That is a huge, huge blow to the Yankees.
