Newsbreakers
November 21, 2008
The Toronto Sun reports that the Blue Jays are likely to offer A.J. Burnett a five-year deal sometime soon.

Our View:Reports from both the New York Yankees and Red Sox camps indicate they are not entirely comfortable with offering the oft-injured Burnett a five-year deal. Nor should they be. Burnett has only made 30 or more starts in contract years in 10 seasons. He was 10-8 in his first two seasons after signing a five-year, $55 million deal before going 18-10 with a 4.07 ERA last season.
November 19, 2008
The Phillies are the latest team to garner interest in hurler A.J. Burnett, according to their official team website.

Our View:The world champs would like to add him to their rotation, but may not be willing to invest enough years in a deal to land him.
November 19, 2008
The Red Sox are believed to be serious contenders in the hunt to sign A.J. Burnett, according to the Hot Stove Blog on MLB.com.

Our View:Boston reportedly raised their involvement in Burnett within the last 36 hours and are now fully engaged. This has turned into an AL East bidding war, as the Jays, Yankees, and Orioles are also interested in the hurler.
November 19, 2008
Other than trying to re-sign hurler A.J. Burnett, GM J.P. Ricciardi indicated that the Jays are going to be idle in free agency, according to MLB.com. Ricciardi said, "We're still going to keep listening and seeing what's available to us. But right now, I don't see us getting involved with anybody. Something is going to have to really make sense for us and the best way would be via trade."

Our View:Ricciardi denied the rumors that the Jays were targeting shortstop Rafael Furcal, outfielder Milton Bradley, and first baseman Jason Giambi. Sitting still will not help the Jays contend in the dominant AL East next season.
November 19, 2008
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports indicates that the Jays' four-year offer to A.J. Burnett for $54 million is inaccurate. The Jays are waiting and are yet to make a proposal.

Our View:The Jays will have to battle the AL East rival Yankees and Red Sox to retain their ace hurler.
