Wow, who would of thought it? A.J. Burnett has opted out out his contract with the Toronto Blue Jays and will now become a free-agent. It was quite the predictable move, especially knowing he can get plenty more on the open market. Toronto still has interest in bringing him back, and it could be a perfect fit. The Yankees will still be there, especially if they somehow can't sign CC Sabathia.
Burnett is a strong pitcher when healthy, but healthy is rarely a term used with his name. It'll be interesting to see who receives the bigger bounty: A.J. Burnett or Ben Sheets, especially with their health concerns.
