Burnett gets $8M over two years from Angels
Sean Burnett - R - Los Angeles Angels
Dec. 10, 2012 - 6:25 PM ET

Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports that Sean Burnett will receive $8 million over two years on his new deal with the Angels.

The deal also includes a $4.5 million team option (or $500,000 buyout) for a third year. It's not a bad signing given that Burnett was originally looking for a four-year deal and winds up getting one fewer year and $10 million less than Jeremy Affeldt. The southpaw held left-handed hitters to a .211/.245/.289 slash line in 2012.
