Andy Pettitte remains the Yankees top choice to fill out their rotation, though it remains unclear whether or not the veteran left-hander wants to even pitch for anyone in 2007.
?I?m always looking around,? General Manager Brian Cashman said. ?I don?t have to do anything, but if something makes sense, I will look at it.?
Besides Pettitte and Clemens, the only free-agent starters who interest the Yankees are Ted Lilly and Gil Meche.

The Hanshin Tigers accepted the New York Yankees offer of about $25 million Tuesday for pitcher Kei Igawa.
The identity of the winning team was disclosed by a baseball official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the commissioner's office had not yet released the information. An official annoucement was scheduled for 8 p.m. EST.
After the bidding closed Monday, the Tigers were informed of the amount of the high bid, but not which team made it. The New York Mets bid about $15 million for Igawa, another baseball official said, also on condition of anonymity.
