So how is it that the Yankees have 3 highly interested teams in Burnett (apparently they are paying $20mil of his $33mil salary) and appear to be close to a deal AND will receive prospects, yet we weren't able to trade Garza? I guess we really were asking for the moon, which is fine, but baseball sometimes makes little sense. So many teams interested in expensive crap.

Supposedly deal is being finalized between Pirates and Yankees - Yeah, we've heard this before but players have been identified/agreed upon according to Ken Davidoff of Newsday.
Pirates paying $13 - $15 MM of the $33 MM contract and Yankees receive B level prospects.
