TORONTO (AP) - Free-agent pitcher A.J. Burnett traveled to Toronto this week as the Blue Jays began their pursuit of the former Florida Marlins right-hander.
He met with Toronto ace Roy Halladay, team management and pitching coach Brad Arnsberg on Wednesday. Burnett got a tour of the Rogers Centre and went for a steak dinner before attending the Raptors' NBA season opener with Halladay and Arnsberg, a former Marlins pitching coach who is still close with Burnett.
When asked about the possibility of signing with Toronto, Burnett said he was interested.
