"A.J. Burnett isn't concerned about his inclusion in ongoing trade talks with the Pirates or the prospect of losing his Yankee pinstripes, his agent said Saturday.

"He is getting ready to go to spring training, whether it's with the Yankees, Pittsburgh or anyone else," Darek Braunecker said in a brief phone interview. "A.J. understands this is a business and will do what he has to do. He's healthy and he's looking forward to pitching for somebody."

A source familiar with the Yankees thinking added that theres a good chance a deal with the Pirates eventually will get done."
