When the Pittsburgh Pirates were able to get a well known veteran starter at a highly discounted rate, the team did not part with any top prospects in the deal.
February 19, 2012 is a day that Pittsburgh Pirates fans will always remember. This was the day that Neal Huntington officially completed the trade to acquire veteran pitcher A.J. Burnett from the New York Yankees. The franchise would become forever changed, and the city of Pittsburgh’s passion for baseball rejuvenated.
Last week, Burnett took the time to do an interview for Rum Bunter.
