We know the Yanks badly want CC Sabathia. We’ve heard they’re interested in fellow Brewer ace Ben Sheets as Plan B. Now, Ken Rosenthal reports rumblings we’ve heard for a while: A.J. Burnett, who holds an opt-out clause and can file for free agency, plans to draw significant interest from the both the Red Sox and the Yankees. Burnett is clearly the Yanks’ third choice, but blocking him from going to the Red Sox or at least increasing his demands would be a worthy cause. (Hat tip to the ever-reliable MLBTR.)
