Free agent right hander A.J Burnett is now mulling over two very formidable offers. The Yankees have offered him a 5 year, 85 million dollar contract, while the Atlanta Braves are said to have offered a similar deal, 5 years and 80 million dollars. Burnett is a fan of the AL, and the east coast in particular. His family resides in Baltimore, a place he would visit quite often should he sign with the Yanks. Also, Burnett is said to not like the spotlight. He would rather slip into a rotation spotlighted by C.C Sabathia, than become the ace of the Braves staff. It seems apparent that a decision will come soon, and all indications point to Burnett taking the Yanks offer.
