"Just because the Yankees locked up CC Sabathia for at least another five years doesn't mean they are done putting together next year's rotation.

That includes Brian Cashman admitting he would consider moving A.J. Burnett.

Asked about Burnett's role next season during a conference call to announce the GM's new three-year contract, Cashman said, "If he's with us, without a doubt he's in the rotation."

Finding any takers for the right-hander -- who will be 35 in January, has two years and $33 million remaining on a contract that also contains a partial no-trade clause -- is much easier said than done."
