Corbin Burnes, Arizona Diamondbacks
The Orioles have signed free agents Tyler O’Neill, Tomoyuki Sugano, Charlie Morton and Gary Sánchez this offseason. Is it enough?
The 30-year-old Burnes — who is originally from California — moved to Arizona in 2018 when he played for the Milwaukee Brewers, partially so he could be close to the Brewers’ spring training facility. He and his family liked the area so much they stayed, and it was a big factor in his decision to sign with the Diamondbacks.
D-backs RHP Corbin Burnes has had to evolve throughout his career, and he explained the recent dip in strikeouts as an approach change.
Even though it had been nearly three weeks since ace right-hander Corbin Burnes had agreed with the Arizona Diamondbacks on a $210 million, six-year deal, it was still a little stunning to see him in the team’s jersey at Chase Field on Wednesday.
