Burnett Decision Due Monday Before GM Meetings

Watch him not opt out. It would be hilarious.

Or an extension be announced. It would just be entertaining. Although it probably won't happen.

i believe that if Burnett opts out he'll be a free agent.

As much as i would like him in an Orioles or Nationals uniform, both teams are gonna have to pay some serious cash to land burnett for a year or more

As a Red Sox fan, I'd welcome either Lowe or Burnett on a 3 or 4 year deal at 16 per. I know it's overpaying, and I'd prefer 3 to 4, but it's an upgrade that will only cost cash.

"i believe that if Burnett opts out he'll be a free agent. "

lol

As a Yankees fan, I, too, "welcome either Lowe or Burnett on a 3 or 4 year deal at 16 per." Like Kenan and Kel (Boston law firm?) said, 3 or 4 years makes sense from a team perspective.

I think Burnett is a big-game pitcher and would do well in either Boston or NY. Yes, there is a risk, that is why the less year the better.

Imagine Burnett, CC, Teixeira and Manny all Yanks. If any team could do it, it's the yanks. Laugh if you want and say you stupid ignorant yankee fan, but you all know it's possible with the new stadium and all. Boy, would you guys be miserable or what!

Typical delusional Yankee fan.

A team that can win. That removes the Yankees. The didn't even make the playoffs this year. Losing to a crappy team like the Rays. You know the last place team last year.

"and also winning 25 world series total"

The Yankees have won 26 total championships. Idiot.

"The Braves will be interested in Burnett when he opts, watch.
"

I don't see the Braves going after Burnett, simply b/c they've been burned with Hampton, and he has just come off the books.

I want Tex and CC as much as the next yank fan, and they'll prolly get them both, but there is no need advertising it so loudly

The Orioles and Nationals need to improve their system and spend their money on scouting, not jackasses like Burnett and old veterans like Lowe.

The Yankees can go ahead and sign CC to a 5-year, $140mm insane contract. Then they can watch him gain more weight than Andruw jones and watch his arm fall off.

Lowe probably has 1-2 solid years left. I'd just go back to Boston if I were him.

Texeira's the most solid FA in my opinion. The problem with him being a Yank is, what the hell does New York do with guys like Damon and Posada? They don't have much left in the tank to man their main positions, and if they can't play 1B either, with Matsui likely taking most of the DH time, what would they do?
If they really want Tex, I'd move Damon to a team with either a smaller park or with a DH need (maybe back to Oakland?) and get a guy like Tavares to lead off for a year or two, until Austin is ready. Posada could swap catching and split DH with Matsui, and they can have their man Tex.

Manny isn't going to New York. He wants to whore himself for as much money as possible but he'd be restricted both in his appearance and in is actions way too much. I bet the Braves would pay him enough, or the Angels, who could DH him. He'd be a nice addition over Garret Anderson.

If I'm too far fetched, I'll certainly understand any crap I may get for any of this. But to me, this all seems to make the most sense.

Yanks are still gonna suck next year cause they still have no pitching. They're all either old and washed up or too young with no experience like Hughes and Kennedy that haven't proved anything yet!!
