West Coast teams are all on the no-trade list for Burnett.

And as a Pirates fan, I resent that.

Pirates prospects are actually looking serious. Will be a solid club in a few years, I think.

Doesn't she know that Teleporters are more cost effective?

I always expect to hear that people who fear flying have been killed in car accidents. As if there's some karmic being who hates when people have fears that fly in the face of statistics.

Have you read this? I mean, the Yanks are asking too much. I'd say he's not worth giving up top prospects AND eating a third of his contract. The Yankees don't even have a spot for him in the rotation. He'd be sent down to AAA if they don't get a deal done, they're just playing hardball, and it's frustrating.

The spirit of Steinbrenner still haunts the Yanks' front office I suppose. Greed, greed, greed.

Yankees should be grateful anyone wants Burnett at all. They're not getting anything of value for him in return.

I really don't think the Pirates need him. Hadn't read that article, but it reiterates some other stuff I've read - NY's just trying to pass him off to SOMEONE. Sure, he'll probably be better in PNC Park than Yankee Stadium, but they're definitely asking too much. Especially with Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon coming up through the system and McCutchen on the rise. Alvarez had a shite year last season, but he can still definitely reclaim himself.

They're already working out the contract.

Why shouldn't they ask for a lot to start? That's how negotiations work, no? I'm not expecting anything legit to come back to the Yankees.

Is there going to be an AP fantasy league?

Yea, haha. I'm obviously over it, but seeing what he became always makes that sting a bit.

I'd be in for anything ESPN.

Haha, I feel like that's tough to be too upset about, but to end up losing him to a team like the Pirates is no fun, haha.
