4 months agoAccording to Jeff Passan of ESPN, right-handed pitcher Corbin Burnes has signed a six-year $210 million contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks have recently begun to make some noise on the market, trading for first baseman Josh Naylor a week ago and are now signing the top pitcher on the market. Last summer in Baltimore, the 30-year-old posted a 2.92 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP across 194 1/3 innings of work en route to finishing fifth in AL Cy Young voting. Under the hood he generated a stellar 31.6% hard-hit rate and a 48.8% ground-ball rate. Before going to Baltimore, Burnes spent the first six seasons of his career in Milwaukee where he won the 2021 NL Cy Young. Even though he strikeout production has slowly declined over his career, Burnes has remained a workhorse as he has logged over 190 innings in each of the past three seasons. The right-hander will now sit as the ace of the Arizona rotation and will be one of the first starting pitchers taken in fantasy drafts this offseason.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

4 weeks agoArizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Corbin Burnes is fitting right in with his new team this spring. The 30-year-old has pitched 13 1/3 innings in Cactus League play and has compiled a 1.35 ERA, a 0.98 WHIP, and a 32.7% strikeout rate. While spring sample sizes may not mean much and veterans like Burnes may use their spring outings to work on aspects of their game regardless of outcome, these numbers are never-the-less encouraging. Burnes' strikeout numbers are particularly encouraging for fantasy managers, as his strikeout rate has steadily declined from 2021 on. He was still a high-end fantasy pitcher last season, going 15-9 with a 2.92 ERA, a 1.10 WHIP, and a 23.1% strikeout rate in 32 starts and 194 1/3 IP. He offers a high innings floor and strong ERA and WHIP, but a strikeout boost closer to his 28.8% career mark could tip the fantasy scales even more in his favor.--Connelly Doan - RotoBaller

2 months agoArizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Corbin Burnes is expected to start the team's first spring training game on Friday against the Colorado Rockies. The right-hander is slated to pitch just one inning of work. Burnes was one of the top free agents in the open market and signed a massive six-year $210 million contract with the Diamondbacks earlier in the offseason. Last season in Baltimore, Burnes posted a 2.92 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP across 194 1/3 innings. He tallied strikeouts at a modest 23.1 percent rate but showed strong command with a 6.7 percent walk rate. The right-hander also generated an elite 31.6 percent hard-hit rate and 48.8 percent ground-ball rate, which were both well above the average marks. Given his high workload, fantasy managers should view Burnes as a high-floor SP1 in all formats.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

4 months agoAccording to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, right-handed pitcher Corbin Burnes turned down more money per year from other suitors when he signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks earlier on Saturday. Heyman mentions that the San Francisco Giants and Toronto Blue Jays offered Burnes larger contracts than Arizona. However, Burnes opted to sign with the Diamondbacks due to a lower state tax and family arrangements. The 30-year-old pitcher ended up agreeing to a six-year deal worth $210 million with the Diamondbacks that includes an opt out after two seasons. Last summer in Baltimore, Burnes posted a strong 2.92 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP across 194 1/3 innings of work. Despite seeing his strikeout production drop, Burnes remains a high-end starting pitcher heading into 2025 given his stable ratios and ability to make over 30 starts each season.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

4 months agoMLB.com's Mark Feinsand said on MLB Network that free-agent right-hander Corbin Burnes, who is at the top of the free-agent starting pitching market this offseason, is seeking a deal for around $245 million this offseason. The San Francisco Giants reportedly have been very interested in Burnes and even made him an offer, but it wasn't as high as the $245 million he's seeking. It remains to be seen if San Fran will increase their offer. The Toronto Blue Jays are another team mentioned as a suitor for Burnes, but it's unclear if they are willing to take a leap on a seven-year deal for a pitcher. It's also unclear if the Baltimore Orioles would commit that type of money to bring Burnes back. The 30-year-old saw his strikeout rate drop to 23.1% in 2024, but he still had an ERA under 3.00. Regression is likely coming soon, but Burnes could still have a few solid years left as a high-end fantasy starter.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
