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...

A.J. Burnett Update

Via The "Mc" Effect  |  February 10, 2012
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...
