Says Alyson Footer:
Have the Astros reached out to Pettitte? Has Pettitte contacted the Astros?
According to general manager Ed Wade, no and no.
"We haven't had any discussion with Andy or his representatives and we don't see a scenario where he would fit into our payroll scenario at this time," Wade said.
Then this, just in case you weren't sure:
"Is Pettitte softening his stance? Maybe. But the Astros are maintaining their hard line, which makes a reunion highly unlikely, if not impossible."
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
