Bobby Abru and Andy Pettitte are the two big names that were not offered.

Even though the Yankees did not offer arbitration to both players, they can still talk about a new contract and negotiate with them.

Also not receiving arbitration offers were pitchers Mike Mussina, Carl Pavano and Sidney Ponson, plus catchers Ivan Rodriguez and Chad Moeller, and first basemen Jason Giambi.

With the Winter meetings coming up in the next week, it will be interesting to see what management decides to do about the starting pitching rotation as they would really like to get a couple of new pitchers that they could plug into the rotation.

The Yankees only had six hits and one run in the game tonight.  The only run came in the eighth inning when Johnny Damon grounded out to first base and Jose Molina scored from third base.

Andy Pettite pitched terrible as he gave up eight hits and five runs in the game while only pitching four innings.  Pettitte is now 3-3 on the season as he took the loss.

Chris Britton and Jose Veras both gave up one run as well in relief.

All around it was just a bad game for the Yankees.  They will look to turn things around tomorrow agains the Rays.  Yankees Blog
