Report: Yanks, Burnett agree on five-year, $82.5 million deal

BRONX, NEW YORK (TICKER) —A.J. Burnett apparently is set to join CC Sabathia as a high-priced pitcher in pinstripes.

Burnett and the New York Yankees agreed in principle to a five-year, $82.5 million contract Friday, according to multiple reports.

The deal, which was initially reported by FOXSports.com, is pending Burnett’s physical. The Yankees have not commented on the reports.

Burnett: $17mill/year

Sabathia: $23mill/year

And they will only play 32-40 games a year if they don't get hurt...

[Rick McCrank]

why would they give Burnett that kind of deal?   the Yankees are fuckin stupid

he has a history of injuries too and he's not worth $80 million dollars

this is just dumb

nope

LMFAO @ Skanks fans excited about Burnett.  Dude had a nice record b/c his bullpen saved him a ton of times.  He has only lived up to his ability a couple of times in his career.  He can't stay healthy and 2 of the 3 seasons he did were contract years lol.  Burnett has Pavano 2.0 written all over it.

And to the cat that is going on about the salary cap, teams like the Pirates, Twins, and Royals have the money to spend but choose not to.  It may not be Yankee money but it's a lot more than what they do spend.  So if you want a salary cap you should also have a minimum salary cap for what you have to at least spend.

i thought you guys understood that money isnt an issue; we could pay everyone on the team 20 million & still have money to spend!

we are going to continue to overpay players as long as they put on the pinstripes.

my freind Mr. Texeria is next on my list; i hope Cashman feels the way i do.

It was a contract year, he'd obviously try harder.
better hope that he isn't a Pavano 2.0; he's a pretty decent pitcher, but it'd suck to pay him $16.5 mill a yr to be on the DL.

[J.D. Wykid, Esq.]

come on hack, you should know that wins and losses doesnt determine how good a player is.

imo, Derek Lowe is the better overall pitcher.

First of all where did I say luck ?  Again Yanks fans getting hurt when we dont bow down to everything and anything the Skanks do.  In 2006 Steve Trashpail had 15 wins for the Mets with an ERA near 6.  Wins aren't good way to measure how good a pitcher is.  And like I said from talking to Jays fans there were plenty of games where the bullpen came in and saved his ass.

And every season banking on Pavano to return really hurt you guys.
