The Yankees and Red Sox apparently are set to square off for the services of free agent pitcher A.J. Burnett.
The New York Daily News reported that the Red Sox plan to be "a major player" in the pursuit of Burnett. In addition, Newsday said that the Red Sox have become "serious competitors" to land the right-hander.
The New York Post reported Tuesday that the Yankees were preparing an offer to Burnett that could be worth $80 million over five years. ESPN
Bob and I have both said that we don't want this guy on the Sox. He has bust written all over him. I really hope that this guy goes to the Yankees and only pitches his 35 games in five years. In my eyes AJ Burnett's last year was a fluke, and he only pitched so well because he knew he had the option to make more money after the season. So if you are readint Theo, please don't sign Burnett.
