Sad news out of the Bronx today—A.J. Burnett will no longer be able to serve as batting practice for Red Sox hitters (until we next play the Pirates in inter-league games). According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the Empire dealt the tattooed one to the Pirates for two minor prospects and the promise to pay $20 million worth of Burnett's remaining ludicrous $33 million deal. Somehow, we will have to get through the season without seeing A.J.'s scowling visage as he heads to the showers in the 4th inning. Good riddance, pal.
