New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Yankees have officially traded right-handed pitcher A.J. Burnett to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a pair of minor leaguers -- relief pitcher Diego Moreno and outfielder Exicardo Cayones. The trade was first reported on Friday and was pending a physical and approval by Major League Baseball.
The Yankees signed Burnett after the 2008 season, around the same time they also landed CC Sabathia.
Burnett, 35, owns a career record of 121-111 with a 4.10 earned-run average in 314 games -- 309 starts -- for the Marlins, Blue Jays and Yankees. He threw a no-hitter while with Florida on May 12, 2001.
Moreno, 24, went 2-4 with five saves and a 3.63 ERA in 41 games between Class- A and Double-A ball last season. Cayones, 20, hit .228 with 12 RBI in 38 total games with State College and the GCL Pirates in 2011.
The 39-year-old Ibanez will fill a need for a lefty-swinging designated hitter and will add depth to the team's outfield that will be manned by Brett Gardner, Curtis Granderson and Nick Swisher.
The Yankees were able to free up some money to add a bat when they finalized a trade that sent pitcher A.J. Burnett to Pittsburgh.

McClendon compiled a 3-0 record and a 2.63 ERA in nine relief appearances with Milwaukee a year ago, while Dillard had a 1-1 record and matched Estrada with a 4.08 ERA in 24 trips out of the Brewers bullpen in 2011.
