Right-hander Corbin Burnes and the Arizona Diamondbacks are in agreement on a six-year, $210 million contract, sources confirmed to ESPN.
After a quiet winter, Arizona gets the best pitcher on the market, while Burnes gets to play for a dangerous NL West team.
Burnes, 30, is everything teams want in a starting pitcher. His production over the last five years is unimpeachable. He goes deep into games and piles up innings. In his limited postseason action, he has been excellent.
He rejected a one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer by the Baltimore Orioles on Nov. 19.
