Summary: The Yankees might be looking to trade A.J. Burnett for either a Designated Hitter or another pitcher, but as of right now the Pirates are currently leading the way. There are four teams that are leading the way in the discussion to try and get Burnett for next season. The Yankees are looking at previous players like Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon to add to the team for Burnett as well.
Significance: If the Yankees were to trade Burnett then the Yankees would need to rearrange their pitching rotation to curtail to whoever they bring in. Burnett had been number two to Sabathia for a few years and contributed to their World Series in 2009. It will be interesting to see how the team reacts if the Yankees do end up releasing him before the upcoming season.
Question: Who would the Yankees be replacing Burnett with?
Alternate Heading: Pirates eye Burnett, With Yankees looking to Release
