Marlins cut ties with Burnett
Associated Press

MIAMI -- A.J. Burnett is very close to becoming a former Florida Marlin.

Marlins general manager Larry Beinfest said Burnett has been asked to leave the team and will not be offered a multiyear contract during the offseason. The decision came a day after the pitcher said the team plays scared because manager Jack McKeon and the coaching staff are too negative. Burnett popped off after losing his sixth decision in a row at Atlanta.

Beinfest says Burnett has not been suspended and will be paid for the rest of the season.

Burnett becomes a free agent after the World Series. He went 12-12 this season with two shutouts, four complete games and a 3.44 ERA.

Jack McKeon and the coaching staff did a terrible job. They had the most talent of any team in the division. On paper they're the second best team in the NL.

Burnett should get somewhere between 8-10 mil, so its not a hard decision for them.

Shouldve dealt him when they had the chance

He'd f*ck us over like Pavano, Wright and Vazquez did. He's tempting but I'll take Kevin Millwood instead.
