    Marlins cut ties with Burnett

    MIAMI -- A.J. Burnett is very close to becoming a former Florida Marlin.
    Marlins general manager Larry Beinfest said Burnett has been asked to leave the team and will not be offered a multiyear contract during the offseason. The decision came a day after the pitcher said the team plays scared because manager Jack McKeon and the coaching staff are too negative. Burnett popped off after losing his sixth decision in a row at Atlanta.

    Beinfest says Burnett has not been suspended and will be paid for the rest of the season.

    Burnett becomes a free agent after the World Series. He went 12-12 this season with two shutouts, four complete games and a 3.44 ERA.

    Can you say New York Yankees? Burnett will fit just fine where Kevin Brown used to be!

    It wouldn't shock me one bit if he wound up there.
