Agent Darek Braunecker said he's filed the necessary paperwork with the players' association and that Burnett will be opting out of the final two years of his five-year, $55 million contract. Burnett had two years and $24 million left on the deal.
I don't know what it is but this guy just doesn't rub me the right way. He just screams out to me that he's a guy who will get a huge contract and then under perform. This year he was 18- 10 with 231 Ks and a 4.07 era which is good, but that era worries me. Burnett will probably get a huge contract worth about 80 million, but I have a feeling injuries and just being bad are going to haunt the team that picks him up. He was a former Marlin so I respect him, but I don't want him on the Sox.
