The New York Daily News reports that the Braves are "preparing a five-year offer for A.J. Burnett."
Atlanta is apparently still in the market for a front-line starter even after dealing for Javier Vazquez and could be the front-runners for Burnett if other teams balk at a five-year commitment.

I guess we're in a bidding war with the Yanks now, something I'm not too excited about.

I knew it was going to happen, but I don't like our chances, and the Yankees can easily beat any offer we make. We know that's common sense.
