The Philadelphia Phillies are struggling, which means trade rumors will surround them this month.

A.J. Burnett, however, wants to stick with the club.

Philadelphia has a franchise-record payroll in 2014, but reached the All-Star break 11 games under .500.

"I signed here to play here," Burnett said. "I'm not a guy who looks for an out or wants to get out because things aren't going the right way. If that happens, then it happens, but I'm not looking to move on. This is my team. I understand how things work, but I'm trying not to worry about it. I just try to go about my business and enjoy my teammates."
