According to the NY Post, Brian Cashman left the Bellagio before the Rule 5 Draft today to go to Texas and meet with Andy Pettitte. I think Brian Cashman will be giving Andy Pettitte his final offer before turning his attention to another pitcher such as Ben Sheets. ESPN has reported we have offered AJ Burnett 5 years for $80 million dollars and if that is true, I do not see the Atlanta Braves being able to top that offer.
I remember this summer reading about how Andy really wants to be able to pitch for us in the new Stadium next year. Andy, if you really meant it, suck up you pride, and take the pay cut. We supported you unconditionally after the steroids fiasco last year, and it's time to show some of that love back.

Now that the Jake Peavy trade with the Cubs is dead, wouldn't it make sense for Cashman to try to land Peavy with a package headlined by Ian Kennedy? There's no way you can bring Peavy back after basically announcing to the league that he's not part of your plans moving forward can you?
