AJ shows true colors

[pags03]

Good ridance for this loser AJ Burnett!! He really shows that he doesn't give a shit about winning by nixing a trade to the Angels. Why would anybody in the twilight of their career rather go to the Pirates than go to a rotation that would feature, Weaver, Haren, Wilson, Santana and himself. What a joke, I hope nothing but bad for AJ. What a waste of $$$ and now he says he's excited for a fresh start!! what a bunch of malarky for a non competitive worthless piece of crap!!! Thanks for Game 2 in WS and nothing else you f'ng head case!! Hopefully you ate enough pie hear in NY cuz all you're gonna eat in Pirate town is some Primanti Bro's sandwiches and whole lot of L's!!!! Wow, can't believe anybody would pass on the chance to stick to his former boss by going to a contender and help hoist another title but instead go to the doormat of the NL!!!

He rejected the Angels because his wife is afraid to fly, so they have to stay on the east coast. Sucks because that trade was arguably better, but not much you can do. It was a no-trade clause that was negotiated and he had a right to exercise it.

Cashman did what he had to do. Save $13 million (which is more like $19 million with the luxury tax), and get the guy off the roster.

In the NL Central, AJ is going to do a lot better.
