First of all, yes, I’ll admit it: I’m eating my words right now. After writing my aggressively-headlined “Good Luck Shopping A.J. Burnett, Yanks” piece on Wednesday, it turns out the Yankees have found at least one potential suitor for Burnett in the Pirates. The two sides are still haggling over how much money the Yankees should eat, but considering the Yankees...

You need pitching depth to get through a 162-game schedule. I recently spoke to a big league pitching coach who told me it was important to leave camp with about 18 pitchers that could realistically contribute at the big league level.

Heyman Tweet #1Heyman Tweet #2Don't ask me what an "okay" prospect is, but it seems like these two teams aren't as close to a deal as we thought. At first we thought the Yankees would take a $23/$10 million split on Burnett's contract, but now they want the Pirates to come closer to 50/50. That's $16.5/$16.5 million, and I don't think there's any...

If you are a high priced player and you fail, the fans will never forget to remind you that you are not living up to their expectations.

Pirates and Yankees have a framework of a possible AJ Burnett deal in place, and they are now working through conditions of that framework.
— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) February 12, 2012
That would make it sound a lot like a deal is just about done, but then Olney went on to say that the deal isn't done and the two sides haven't agreed on players or money. So how is...
