Burnett announced his retirement from baseball Tuesday, Ken Davidoff of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burnett first emerged in the big leagues during the 2008 season with Pittsburgh, posting a 4.76 ERA and 1.61 WHIP with a 43:34 K:BB over 56.2 frames. After 19 seasons in professional baseball, he's decided to call it quits, ending his career with a 3.52 ERA and 278 punchouts across 378.1 innings.

Burnett signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Wednesday, Ken Davidoff of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal doesn't include an invitation to spring training, so Burnett will open the year in the minors. The veteran left-hander spent most of the 2018 season with the Marlins, compiling a 5.49 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB across 19.2 innings of relief with Triple-A New Orleans. Burnett hasn't pitched in the majors since 2016, and injuries have kept him off the mound for a good chunk of the past six seasons, so don't look for him to play a big role for the Mets in 2019.

The Marlins released Burnett on Monday, Triple-A New Orleans radio broadcaster Tim Grubbs reports.

EDGE Analysis

The end of the road could be near for the 35-year-old Burnett, who has made 380 career appearances (13 starts) in the majors but none since 2016. He was let go by Miami after posting a 5.49 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 19.2 innings at Triple-A, though a 23:5 K:BB and .452 BABIP suggest the latter two ratios probably should have been better. Burnett could land a minor-league deal elsewhere if he intends to continue his career, but he'll face an uphill battle to resurface in the majors with multiple injuries having kept him off the mound for much of the past six years.

Burnett signed a minor-league deal with the Marlins on Saturday that includes an invite to spring training, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He is already in camp and has time to win a spot in the big-league bullpen. Look for him to serve as organizational depth, operating in low-leverage situations. The 35-year-old southpaw last pitched in the big leagues in 2016, logging 5.2 innings in 10 appearances with the Nationals.

Burnett was granted his release Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Burnett had an opt-out in his contract and exercised his right to request an unconditional release. The 34-year-old was a useful bullpen commodity from 2009 to 2012, but hasn't been the same since undergoing Tommy John surgery. He'll look to hopefully catch on somewhere else in 2017.

The Phillies have signed Burnett to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training, Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burnett will earn $1.25 million if he makes it to the majors in 2017. The Phillies have just two lefties on their 40-man roster, so Burnett gives them more depth in that area. He has an opt out in in his contract on March 26 if he does not earn a roster spot with the Phillies this spring.

Burnett was called up by the Nationals on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Acquired earlier this month via trade, Burnett returns to a Nationals team with whom he spent the 2009-2012 seasons. He has spent time in four different organizations this season alone and hasn't appeared in the majors since 2014, but the Nats seem to value Burnett's experience.

Sean Burnett (elbow) underwent successful Tommy John surgery this week. It's the second time that he has undergone the procedure. He's looking at another lengthy recovery process and probably won't be an option to rejoin the Angels bullpen until the beginning of the 2016 season.

Angels transferred LHP Sean Burnett from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears room on the 40-man roster for the addition of Cam Bedrosian. Burnett will soon undergo Tommy John surgery.

Sean Burnett was diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. That's usually a precursor for Tommy John surgery. If so, it would be the second time Burnett has undergone the surgery in his career. He made just three appearances with the Angels this season.
