Far be it for me to question any man’s financial worth, but what the hell is wrong with Andy Pettitte?

Andy Pettitte may not be returning to the New York Yankees after all.

The left-handed starter has rejected the Yankees’ one-year, $10 million offer, The New York Times reported, citing a person with knowledge of the negotiations.

There’s also the issue of money.

The $10 million offer Pettitte reportedly rejected would represent a $6 million decrease from the $16 million the Yankees paid Pettitte last year. And that comes at the same time the team has pledged $180 million to first baseman Mark Teixeira and a combined $243.5 million for starting pitchers CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett.

Pettitte went 14-14 with a 4.54 ERA last season, after starting the year at the center of baseball’s performance-enhancing drugs scandal.

Pettitte, 36, waited until early December 2007 to tell the Yankees he would pitch in 2008. That was before the release of the Mitchell report, which included Pettitte, and he had not told the Yankees he might be included in the report, which said he had used human growth hormone. He subsequently admitted using HGH and was supported publicly by the Yankees.

Let me get this straight. He’s 36 years old, is coming off a 14-14 season playing for one of the best offenses in Major League Baseball and the Yankees stood by him through his HGH scandal. And $10 million isn’t enough? Half of what he made in 2008 should be enough. The guy is on the down swing of his career and now he wants to play hardball with his next contract? Give me a break.
