BRADENTON, Fla. -- The Pirates and New York Yankees reached an agreement Friday that will send right-handed starter A.J. Burnett to Pittsburgh, according to a source.

The Yankees will pay $20 million of the remaining $33 million owed Burnett over the next two seasons, and the Pirates will send two prospects to the Yankees, the source said. The Yankees will receive pitcher Diego Moreno and outfielder Exicardo Cayones, according to The Associated Press.

Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig must approve the transaction because it involves a transfer of more than $1 million. The deal also is pending on Burnett passing a physical.

Serious negotiations lasted more than a week.

Burnett, 35, went 11-11 with a 5.15 ERA in 2011 and had a 5.00-plus ERA each of the past two seasons. He signed a five-year, $82.5 million contract before the 2009 season after opting out of a five-year, $55 million deal with the Toronto Blue Jays.

That is why you fail.

Eh it is not like there is much hitting when Texas plays, team ERA was 2.35 and team BA was .269.

And yeah the bats have not gone ping in years but, you know, tradition.
