NEW YORK – The Yankees agreed Friday to trade pitcher A.J. Burnett to Pittsburgh for two minor leaguers, a deal that clears the way for New York to add Raul Ibanez.

Pittsburgh will pay $13 million of the $33 million salary due Burnett for 2012 and 2013, a person familiar with the negotiations said Friday, speaking on condition of anonymity because no announcement has been made.

New York will receive right-hander Diego Moreno, 25, and outfielder Exicardo Cayones, 20, both low-level prospects.

The agreement is subject to Burnett passing a physical, which is likely to take place Sunday. Commissioner Bud Selig also must approve it because of the money involved.

Ibanez, who spent the last three seasons with Philadelphia, has been waiting for New York to agree to the deal, a person familiar with those negotiations said. The contract for the 39-year-old outfielder would have a base salary of about $1 million.
