BASEBALL: Burnitz Gone
Not much to say about the Burnitz deal: the Mets wisely got what they could for Burnitz, while the Dodgers really had to add a hitter to replace Brian Jordan. Note that the Mets will end up paying Burnitz $9 million this year for 234 at bats.
I'm glad to see Rickey back if only because it clears him off the same Hall of Fame ballot as Tim Raines.
