Looks like the Pirates were initially interested now they may have met a snag. In another article I came across (ESPN New York) the Yankees were looking to get a DH back for Burnett.

More likely they are looking to free up money for a DH by trading Burnett.

Sorry...this is the link I was referring to. It pretty much says the Yankees were interested in signing a free agent DH...but if they can trade Burnett for a DH, that'd be better. Looks like there's a few clubs they're having talks with.

I'd take AJ in a heartbeat. He'd instantly be our Opening Day starter....

...and I don't mean that to be a good thing.

I would take him too and outside of an injury, I really do think that he would help us. I do not know who the Orioles expect to sign here in the next couple of years, but good luck getting them to do it for roughly 3/$21M. Burnett is from here too. It just makes too much sense for us to think that we would actually do it.

Actually AJ is from Little Rock. His wife is from Monkton.

Apparently, Burnett took a pitch off his face on a failed bunt attempt and may miss the season.
