The Jays and A.J.
The Toronto Blue Jays offered A.J. Burnett arbitration. The Jays want to keep Burnett, and this drives up his price to other teams by costing them draft picks if they sign the pitcher.
I'll be interested to see if Burnett accepts. If so, it may signal that players think that this winter is a buyer's market for free agents and he might want to try again next season.
