An Amendment

Looks like Newsday's Ken Davidoff was looking a little too far into his crystal ball. David O'Brein of The Atlanta-Journal Constitution actually heard from Braves GM Frank Wren. A pretty good source if you ask me. Anyway, O'Brien confirms that while the Braves did indeed offer a contract for the services of AJ Burnett, they have yet to guarantee a fifth year. The contract may have a fifth year as an option and is believed to average 15 mill per. This amounts to nothing more than the first ticket entered in the A.J. Burnett sweepstakes.
