Andy Pettitte says he moved from Houston back to New York because the Yankees put on a "full-court press" and the Astros showed signs they were ready to move on without him.

Pettitte and the Yankees reached an agreement Friday on a $16 million, one-year contract, a deal that reunites the two-time All-Star with the team he helped win four titles.

The deal includes a $16 million player option for 2008 that Pettitte's agent, Randy Hendricks, said Pettitte would not exercise if he were hurt and unable to play.
