The Pirates might actually want to trade with the Yankees for A.J. Burnett.
Pittsburgh clearly wants another starting pitcher and they have spoken to New York about the right-hander.
Before Edwin Jackson signed a one-year deal with the Nationals, the Pirates offered Jackson both a one- and three-year contract.
Burnett, 35, wants to stay with the Yankees and be their fifth starter, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
