Corbin Burnes Signs Record $210 Million Deal with Arizona Diamondbacks

The 2021 Cy Young winner joins Arizona's rotation on a six-year contract, with an opt-out after 2026 and $64 million in deferred payments.

Corbin Burnes, one of MLB's top pitchers, signed a six-year, $210 million contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks, marking the largest deal in franchise history.
The contract includes $64 million in deferred payments, with specific payout schedules depending on whether Burnes opts out after 2026.
Burnes, known for his elite contact management skills and consistent performance, has been a Cy Young winner and a four-time All-Star over his career.
Despite a decline in strikeout rates in recent years, analysts believe Burnes' ability to suppress hard contact makes him a solid long-term investment.
Burnes will join a rotation featuring Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly, positioning the Diamondbacks as stronger contenders in the National League.
