The Pirates and Yankees have agreed on a trade involving A.J. Burnett, but it is not yet official.
The agreement needs to be approved by the commissioner's office because of the money involved. Pittsburgh will pay $13 million of the $31.1 million remaining on Burnett's contract, according to sources.
Approval was not given on Friday night because the deal was finalized too late in the day.
