The Pirates and Yankees Have the "Framework of an AJ Burnett Deal in Place"
By Tim Ryan
Everyone knows what AJ Burnett is capable of, he proved as much by rescuing the Yankees in a do-or-die Game 4 in Detroit last October. But perhaps a less suffocating environment could do wonders for a pitcher who has defined inconsistency to the point it has become an uncomfortable Jekyll & Hyde act on a pitch-to-pitch basis. If the deal does go through, we already know personal catcher Francisco Cervelli will miss him dearly.
