Average Down Sabathia Brewers

Baseball Betting Lines

New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Yankees have officially traded right-handed pitcher A.J. Burnett to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a pair of minor leaguers -- relief pitcher Diego Moreno and outfielder Exicardo Cayones. The trade was first reported on Friday and was pending a physical and approval by Major League Baseball.

 

But unlike Sabathia, who is 59-23 with the Yankees, Burnett struggled to produce in the rotation and finished three seasons for New York with a 34-35 mark.

 

Burnett, 35, owns a career record of 121-111 with a 4.10 earned-run average in 314 games -- 309 starts -- for the Marlins, Blue Jays and Yankees. He threw a no-hitter while with Florida on May 12, 2001.

 

Moreno, 24, went 2-4 with five saves and a 3.63 ERA in 41 games between Class- A and Double-A ball last season. Cayones, 20, hit .228 with 12 RBI in 38 total games with State College and the GCL Pirates in 2011.

 

Other candidates that were reportedly in the mix were former Yankees Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui.

 

Ibanez appeared in 144 games last season, including 134 in left field, for the Phillies and batted .245 with 20 homers and 84 runs batted in. He spent three seasons in Philadelphia, driving in at least 80 runs each year.

 

In 1,817 games over 16 seasons with Seattle, Kansas City and Philadelphia, Ibanez has 252 homers, 1,054 runs batted in and a .280 batting average. He was an All-Star for the first and only time with the Phillies in 2009.

 

McClendon compiled a 3-0 record and a 2.63 ERA in nine relief appearances with Milwaukee a year ago, while Dillard had a 1-1 record and matched Estrada with a 4.08 ERA in 24 trips out of the Brewers bullpen in 2011.

 

Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Veteran slugger Manny Ramirez is reportedly set to join the Oakland Athletics. Various reports, including MLB.com, have indicated that Ramirez has agreed to a minor league contract worth $500,000.
