Right-hander Corbin Burnes and the Arizona Diamondbacks are in agreement on a six-year, $210 million contract, sources confirmed to ESPN on Friday, a shocking end-of-the-year signing that sends the best player left in free agency to a team that had not been linked to him all winter.
Burnes, 30, is a former Cy Young Award winner who had spent the majority of the winter hunting for a landing spot as free agent pitchers across the landscape secured high-dollar, long-term guarantees. Burnes\' preference was to play on the West Coast, but he listened to all teams in hopes a similarly large offer would materialize.
