Yanks should tell Burnett to get lost

The Yanks aren’t budging on giving free agent AJ Burnett the five-year deal he wants. And nor should they.
Fine, he's coming off a solid 18-10 year with a 4.07 ERA, which is best season, coincidentally in his walk year.
However, in his prior four seasons - the first two in Florida —Â Burnett posted the following records: 7-6. 12-12 and then going 10-8 each of the next two years. And in only one season in that stretch did he post an ERA below 3.50.
Just above mediocre now, so how will the Yanks feel when the righty hits 35 in the fourth year of his contract?
