Garrett Jones is, in fact, the guy NYY want in any Burnett deal with the Pirates,but PIT not interested in moving Jones. No traction so far.

Yankees know they will have to eat a huge portion of $35 million owed to Burnett in any deal -- maybe in $25m to $27m range.

IMO: If the Pirates negotiate NYY down to where they pay $8mish total to Burnett over next two years, they could get really good return.
