08:14 AM ET 12.07 | Brian Cashman has made no secret of the fact he's looking for arms, but he may also be willing to let one go. The Yankees have inserted A.J. Burnett into the trade market at the Winter Meetings, The Post has learned. According to multiple teams, the Yankees have let it be known they will listen to offers for Burnett and are willing to pay $8 million of the $33 million Burnett is owed over the next two seasons. ... Even with the Yankees swallowing about a quarter of Burnett's contract, they haven't gotten a nibble. First, Burnett, who will be 35 in January, would still be owed $12.5 million this coming season and next. Secondly, Burnett hasn't pitched well (21-26) the past two seasons and has suffered a dip in velocity.

You got that right. He will actually concentrate when he throws the ball that year.

Not sure what kind of a return he'd bring, though he did seem to pitch decently toward the end of last season.

Nothing wrong with Burnett that a trip to Club NL won't sure. Ian Kennedy agrees.

I would bet that Burnett leaves the Yanks and has a Carl Pavano type resurgence.
