Rosenthal's Latest: Mariners GM, Burnett

Check out Ken Rosenthal's Full Count video from last weekend.  Some highlights:

• The Mariners are looking for fresh blood in their GM search.  A few names in the mix: Kim Ng, Jerry DiPoto, and Tony LaCava.  If the Mariners opt for experience they could try to lure Brian Cashman or even Brian Sabean.
• Rosenthal notes that an offer of essentially four years, $54MM from the Jays won't cut it for A.J. Burnett.  Instead of $13.5MM a year, he'll receive $15-20MM per according to Rosenthal.  Ken sees the Yankees, Red Sox, and Mets in the mix if C.C. Sabathia winds up on the West Coast. 
• Jeff Blair muses on Burnett in the Globe and Mail today.  He sees Burnett getting between $15-18MM per year, and more than the four years the Jays are willing to give.  Interesting note from Buster Olney last weekend - he says the Braves have been scouting Burnett closely.
