Giants Emerge as Favorites to Sign Star Pitcher Corbin Burnes

San Francisco positions itself as a frontrunner in the race for the Cy Young winner, with a record-setting contract potentially in play.

The San Francisco Giants and Toronto Blue Jays are leading the competition to sign Corbin Burnes, with the Giants reportedly offering over $250 million.
Burnes, a former Cy Young winner, has been a top performer, finishing the 2024 season with a 2.92 ERA and a strong track record of postseason capability.
The Giants recently signed shortstop Willy Adames to a $182 million deal and are aiming to further bolster their roster under new president Buster Posey.
Adding Burnes would address the Giants' need for a top-tier starting pitcher, pairing him with Logan Webb to strengthen their rotation for a postseason push.
While the Blue Jays remain aggressive, the Giants' willingness to spend heavily signals their commitment to competing in a tough National League West.
