Yankees adding Andy Pettitte as advisor before final push for playoffs
One person familiar with the ongoing shake-up said, “It’s about time we did this.” Referring to specifically to Pettitte, the source said, “He’s obviously going to help. There’s so much respect in the organization for Andy.”
It’s undetermined how often Pettitte will be around the Yankees’ pitchers. He and his family live in Houston and are not intending to re-locate. Nevertheless, Pettitte’s knowledge and experience will be invaluable to fellow southpaw Nestor Cortes and to younger starters like Clark Schmidt and Luis Severino., having helped the Yankees recruiting effort when Cole was a free agent in 2019.
Pettitte represents Step Two. Can Mariano Rivera, who lives in nearby Westchester, be far behind as the bullpen guru?
