Free agent right-hander A.J. Burnett has reached preliminary agreement on a five-year, $82.5 million contract with the New York Yankees, a baseball source told ESPN.com.
Thank god. I was really thinking the Sox were going to do something foolish and sign Burnett. Burnett is a classic injury prone/ contract year player. Now that he has got his huge contract, I believe A.J. is going to play 34 games total in a Yankees uniform. However, if Burnett stays healthy and pitches up to his potential, the Yanks have two great pitchers.
I wonder who is on their list now.
Sheet probably.
At least this really takes the Yankees out of the Teixiera talks.
