The Pirates have continued to seek starting pitching -- trade talks were heating up with the New York Yankees regarding A.J. Burnett -- but general manager Neal Huntington was adamant that should not be taken as a sign of dissatisfaction with his current rotation.

MLB Trade Rumors: Would You Trade Travis Hafner for A.J. Burnett?
I love Hot Stove talk. Pitchers and catchers report in less than two weeks and it appears as if the Indians are still looking to improve their roster. With Asdrubal Cabrera signing his one-year deal on Friday avoiding arbitration, the Tribe has everyone under contract for the 2012 season….and that’s it.
It’s now the worst kept secret in town, but the Tribe literally...

New York Yankees Will Trade A.J. Burnett To Avoid Controversy And To Sign Another Bat
The New York Yankees will trade starting pitcher A.J. Burnett at some point, and it could very well happen as soon as within the next few days. At this point, I do not expect Burnett to make it to Tampa as a member of the team when the Yankees begin Spring Training.
It appears most likely that Burnett will be dealt to the Pittsburgh Pirates. For what compensation remains unclear...

Pirates Should Trade For Burnett
The Yankees are going to trade A.J. Burnett before the season starts. He isn’t necessary to their success moving forward and his spot in the rotation is better filled by Phil Hughes or Freddy Garcia. The Yankees can also reallocate whatever portion of Burnett’s salary gets absorbed by a trade partner to more pressing areas, such as designated hitter. While the Yankees...

Trading Burnett For Nothing Hurts Pitching Depth
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. Of those 18, you probably need 10 that could start a ballgame. Knowing how important depth is to making the playoffs, I wonder if the rumored deal...

I mean, what the heck, why not just fill up the whole front page of the blog with AJ Burnett posts?
@HussarJ I'm absolutely okay with it, the fact is, is that this game is a business and I understand perfectly what is going on within it.

2-For-1 Deal On A.J Burnett….The Yankees Are Practically GIVING His Redneck Ass Away
A few weeks ago, Brian Cashman expressed his faith in A.J. Burnett. Don’t laugh, he really did. But seriously it doesn’t come as a surprise to me. Any GM with a brain knows better than to trash his own players, especially the ones he’s trying to dump off on another team. Remember how the New York Jets praised dumbass Brian Schottenheimer before “he decided” to get...
