Andy Pettitte back to The Yankees

After a few years spent with his hometown team, the Houston Astros, Andy Pettitte is returning to his former team, The New York Yankees. The 36-year-old Pettitte signed a 1 year, 5.5 million dollar contract. Pettitte spent most of his career with the Yankees, winning World Series's, and building a hall of fame resume. However, with his name involved with steroid talks along with Roger Clemens, his HOF hopes seems faded. The Yankees hope that Pettitte can put old injuries behind him and help the other high paid Yanks return to their former October glory.

Welcome to my blog about Professional Sports Transactions.

It will consist of nearly every trade, free-agent signing, firing, hire, or cuts in all of the four major sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA).

My first story involves my favorite baseball team, the Chicago White Sox. Today, January 15, 2009, the Sox signed pitcher Bartolo Colon to a one-year 1 million dollar contract. He pitched with the team in 2003 before being shipped off to the Angels. He is a former Cy Young winner and will hopefully provide some leadership in the Sox's very young locker room. He may also strike up chemistry with the Sox's many Spanish-speaking players (i.e. Alexei Ramirez, Carlos Quentin.)
