The Arizona Diamondbacks have made a significant move by signing starting pitcher Corbin Burnes to a six-year, $210 million contract, enhancing their rotation after acquiring All-Star first baseman Josh Naylor. Burnes, the 2021 NL Cy Young winner, had a strong 2024 season with a 15-9 record and a 2.92 ERA while playing for the Baltimore Orioles, finishing fifth in AL Cy Young voting. Despite a rough August, his performance has solidified his reputation as a reliable ace in both fantasy and real baseball, and he is expected to continue this trend in 2025. Burnes' metrics indicate he remains a top-tier pitcher, with a notable strikeout rate drop being a point of concern. However, adjustments in his delivery towards the end of the season sparked optimism for his upcoming performance in Arizona. The Diamondbacks' pitching environment presents challenges, but the team's defensive capabilities and championship aspirations could bolster Burnes' production. Fantasy managers are encouraged to consider Burnes as a solid investment for the 2025 season, especially with his proven track record as an ace.
