Shocking news today...
The Pirates signed A.J. Burnett for $8.5 million. Awesome!
Yep, I agree. Crazy thing is that his option with Philadelphia was $12 million.That's a good signing for 1 year.
He left $3.5 million on the table by coming to the other side of Pennsylvania.
Another interesting tidbit is that he would only throw to Russell Martin behind the dish when he was here before.
Odds are that Martin won't be around next year. He'll have to find another favorite backstop to pitch to...
That's an alright deal. Not bad.Shocking news today...

The Blue Jays lost their damn minds on this Martin contract. What an overpay.I hate seeing any of them leave Pittsburgh, but losing Martin will hurt the most.
I have to agree, 5-years at an $82 million clip? Wow!The Blue Jays lost their damn minds on this Martin contract. What an overpay.
Martin was going to get paid, but the amount he got is outta this world!
He is Canadian, so this deal must be extremely satisfying for him and his family...
Cubs lost out on Martin.
Thinking they go with a Ace type pitcher very soon.
The Blue Jays did them a huge favor. That contract is insane.Cubs lost out on Martin.

The Pirates ended up getting Francisco Cervelli from the Yankees for LHP Justin Wilson.I heard yesterday that the Pirates might pursue Miguel Montero if they can't keep Martin.
Haven't checked Montero's numbers recently but he'd be a better option than Stewart and Sanchez next year...
I'm not thrilled with this trade, but not upset either. Seems like a decent swap for both teams.
