Burnett/Bradley file for free agency, Boras drops in at GM meetings.


Free agents AJ Burnett and slugger Milton Bradley entered the free agent market today. Bradley had allegedly tried to negotiate a new deal with the Rangers however talks fell through and he is now available. Free agent pitcher AJ Burnett also filed for free agency after the Blue Jays failed to offer him a satisfactory deal. The fact that Burnett is now officially on the market is sure to entice Yankees fans after the righty went 3-1 against the Yanks with a 1.64 ERA. According to Peter Abraham super-agent Scott Boras dropped in at the meetings and said the market for his client Mark Teixeira was “one of the most aggressive” he could remember. He also intimated that one of his other high-powered clients Manny Ramirez wants a long-term deal.
