Pettitte unlikely to rejoin Astros amid budget limits
Newsday reports Andy Pettitte, unhappy with Yankees talks, is unlikely to return to the Astros as Houston remains at a $100 million payroll cap. Pettitte, 37 in June, earned 16 million last season and may seek a figure near that, while New York offers around 10 million. Astros GM Ed Wade says no talks have occurred and would not fit payroll.
