That would require people to want AJ. I’m guessing there’d be more of a demand for Soriano even with the contracts were the same, and Burnett’s owed $8 million more over the next two years. And while the Yankees have plenty of capable bullpen options even without Soriano, taking Burnett out really puts a crimp in the rotation. Yeah, I know he’s unreliable, but the Yanks simply don’t have a reasonable alternative for his innings right now.

Please if the Yankees are going to eat part of anyone’s contract let it be AJ’s.

Another closer option would be Rafael Soriano. Given the Yankees overall bullpen depth, they might be willing to eat some of his contract in a trade, and unlike the other closers being mentioned, Soriano would only come with a two-year commitment.

I’m happy this dick head is out of the AL, I couldn’t stand looking at his face before he threw a pitch, his mouth looked like a dogs ass.
