In the aftermath of the remarks made by David Samson in regards to the New York Yankees, the Yankees sign an Ex-Marlin.

The Yankees and A.J. Burnett have agreed to a five-year, $82.5 million contract, according to FOXSports.com and ESPN.com.

Burnett would have looked pretty good at the top of the Braves' rotation, but the club is probably better off with him having taken the Yankees' offer. Odds are that he'll give the team three quality seasons during the five-year commitment. The soon-to-be 32-year-old has made just 30 starts twice in his career, both times in contract years. Of course, he is a legitimate No. 2 starter when he's healthy, and the Yankees should be able to cover his absences fairly well. 

I love AJ, but I can't help but hope the Yankees made a horrible decision with this signing. Either way, if they made a good decision signing him that means he is in the AL East and not on the braves!
