Burnett Only Considering 5 Year Offers?

SI.com's Jon Heyman has the goods, the agent for free-agent pitcher A.J. Burnett is telling teams that his client is only accepting offers of 5-years or more. The Yankees seemed to be the prime candidate to sign Burnett, but multiple sources are beginning to wonder if they can take such a gamble by offering the injury-prone Burnett a proposal of that length.

The suprising front-runner for the Burnett sweepstakes now has to be the Boston Red Sox, who have touched bases with his agent and told multiple sources that they have signing A.J. a "priority".
