Rumors of Andy Pettitte's Return Are Starting to Swirl

Filed under: , ,

When the Yankees officially announced the Rafael Soriano signing last week, Joe Girardi let slip that Andy Pettitte has been working out and throwing down in Houston.

That seemed like a sign that we might soon be hearing something different after a long spell of nothing but negative reports about his chances of pitching during the 2011 season. After all, there isn't much reason to get yourself into game shape if the only game you plan to play is gin rummy.

So it isn't much of a surprise that Wednesday has brought a pair of reports that link Pettitte to a return. Jon Heyman of SI.com said he's spoken to some baseball people who have told him they expect to see the lefty starting games in the Bronx this summer, while Craig Calcaterra of NBC Sports' Hardball Talk quotes an unnamed source as saying there's a "very strong possibility" that Pettitte returns for one more year.
