Joe Torre: Andy Pettitte will remain a Yankee
Andy Pettitte will remain a Yankee, according to former manager Joe Torre.“I talked to Andy,” Torre said. “His agent had called the Dodgers to find out about interest, and that’s when I called him. I had talked to Andy much earlier, asking him to come to my (Safe at Home) Foundation dinner. He was always married to the Yankees, the excitement playing for the Yankees.
“I called him only because his agent called (Dodgers’ GM) Ned (Colletti). I certainly would’ve kicked myself (if I hadn’t called). He never said no to anything, but just from talking to him, I know the Yankees are his first choice. I wasn’t about to talk him out it, knowing Andy like I do.”
Looks like Joe Torre killed any negotiating leverage Andy may have had with Cashman. Thanks, Joe!

Torre is not allowed to tamper with free agents,.
Just because the Yankees want to sign a free agent doesn’t mean other teams aren’t allowed to talk to him.
Idiot
All baseball players are presumed Yankees until proven otherwise.
COME BACK, AND!
