MLB Trade Rumors: Good Chance NY Yankees Trade AJ Burnett to Pittsburgh Pirates

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman may have found a taker in the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The other day, the Yankees were asking for right-fielder Garrett Jones in return, but according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports and WFAN, Pirates GM Neal Huntington rejected that offer, causing the two sides to go back to the drawing board on negotiations.

Right now, it's looking like the Yankees aren't looking for any players in return from the Pirates so much as cash and salary relief.

The Yankees want to add a left-handed bat as DH and may try to bring back Eric Chavez for bench help, but the Yankees can't do that if they can't dump salary.
