Excellent deal on the Yankees end that makes them better by subtraction. No longer do they have to wonder which Burnette they are going to get when he takes the mound, and $20 million to them is chump change. What an exceptional off season Cashman is having.
It's not about the money with Pittsburgh. They offered Edwin Jackson more than what the Nationals did, but people just don't want to play there.
