Burnett says he plans to stay in Toronto
If he has his way, A.J. Burnett will survive the trade deadline. "I'm a Blue Jay and I plan on being here for the rest of the season," Burnett said last night. Burnett, after a first half which he describes as having "too many losses," enters tonight's start as the most tradeable asset the Jays have in advance of the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. The speculation is fueled in large part by the opt-out clause in Burnett's contract, which opens the door at the end of this season for him to forgo the final two years of his five-year, $55 million (U.S.) deal and enter free agency.

The Jays are probably gonna deal him. The market for pitching is pretty good now, as always, and Burnett will probably walk anyway.

I think you're right. Why would Toronto risk him walking if they can get something for him now?

Another team who let the market cool on them. Nobody wants that dog of a contract with two player options. He walks if he's good. You're stuck with him if he sucks.
