Corbin Burnes signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks Friday night, inking a deal worth $210 million over six years and dashing the hopes of San Francisco Giants fans who dreamed of seeing the former Cy Young winner in orange and black. But as the contract details emerge, it’s probably for the best that the Giants missed on the free agent market’s top remaining pitcher.
Corbin Burnes received a $10 million signing bonus in his Diamondbacks contract. So he is guaranteed $70 million the first 2 years of deal before he can opt out of the remaining $140 million over last 4 years.
