He has been an All-Star each of the past four seasons. The 30-year-old native of Bakersfield, California won the NL ERA crown in 2021, when he went 11\u20135 with a 2.43 ERA (58 ERA-minus) in 28 starts. Across 167 innings that season, he struck out 234 (35.6 K%), walked 34 (5.2 BB%), and had a 0.940 WHIP. In addition to winning that year\u2019s Cy Young, he also finished 15th in MVP voting. His strikeout totals, strikeout percentage, and WHIP were third, first, and second in the NL, respectively. Additionally, he surrendered seven homers to the 657 batters he faced for a league-best 1.1 HR%.<\/p>\n<p>Between 2021 and 2024, Burnes has been among the best starting pitchers in the majors. His WAR of 16.5 is fourth-best over that span, trailing only <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/w\/wheelza01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-28_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Zack Wheeler<\/a><\/strong> (22.6), <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/w\/webblo01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-28_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Logan Webb<\/a><\/strong> (17.9), and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/colege01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-28_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Gerrit Cole<\/a><\/strong> (17.7).

During Spring Training 2023, Burnes lost his arbitration case against the Brewers. The process, including some comments the Brewers made to the arbitrator, hurt Burnes\u2019 relationship with the team. Knowing they would likely not re-sign him, they traded him to get a return before his final season prior to free agency.<\/p>\n<h3>A Boost to the Diamondbacks Rotation<\/h3>\n<p>Burnes joins a pitching staff that struggled in 2024, partly due to injuries and partly due to simply being ineffective. The Diamondbacks\u2019 4.62 team ERA was the third-worst in the National League, besting only the lowly <a href=\"https:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/marlins\/\">Miami Marlins<\/a> (4.73) and <a href=\"https:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/rockies\/\">Colorado Rockies<\/a> (5.47), both of whom lost 100 games or more. Their 1.350 WHIP, well above the NL-average 1.288, was also third-worst in the league, again only better than the Marlins (1.382) and Rockies (1.519). Also of concern for the Diamondbacks was their strikeout percentage (21.2%), once again third-worst in the NL behind the Marlins (21.0%) and Rockies (17.7%). Opponents batted .262 against the Diamondbacks, second-highest in the NL behind the Rockies (.285), and slugged .434, also second-highest in the NL behind the Rockies (.468).<\/p>\n<h4>Payroll<\/h4>\n<p>The Diamondbacks had a total payroll of $172.8 million in 2024, according to Spotrac.com \u2014 the highest in team history. Year-by-year details of Burnes\u2019 contract were not available at press time. However, his contract has a $35 million average annual value. Adding that average to Spotrac\u2019s projected total payroll (after arbitration) would make the team\u2019s 2025 payroll $192.585 million.<\/p>\n<h4>Main Photo:<\/h4>\n<p><a id=\"sfCsniuoSO52QiPF6tpgCQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2165180347\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'sfCsniuoSO52QiPF6tpgCQ',sig:'vVRTQCEWWdTIRMdLjs1-P4U5FmstDFemHkGXoyPGpac=',w:'594px',h:'393px',items:'2165180347',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corbin Burnes to Reportedly Sign with Diamondbacks (Dec. 27, 11:21 pm MST) \u2014 The Arizona Diamondbacks, whose pitching woes saw them miss the playoffs in 2024 despite leading the majors in scoring, have landed the highest-profile free agent starter remaining, reportedly agreeing to terms with right-hander Corbin Burnes.
