MLB.com: Yankees going full throttle after Burnett
Sabathia has had since Nov. 14 to mull a six-year, $140 million package from the Yankees, and he left Las Vegas on Monday afternoon without cashing that ticket.
But another offer may be in the works for Burnett, as the Yankees are said to be willing to go beyond the reported four-year, $60 million offer the Braves have put forth, according to reports on ESPN.com and SI.com.
The ESPN report said agent Darek Braunecker and partner Mark Rodgers arrived in Las Vegas on Monday afternoon and are expected to begin full-scale meetings with clubs regarding Burnett starting on Tuesday.
A Burnett deal should come with Carl Pavano insurance.
