Corbin Burnes, a top free-agent pitcher, ended his 2024 season with a standout performance in the wild-card series, despite his team, the Baltimore Orioles, failing to score. Burnes, acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers, had a solid season but faced challenges with his strikeout rate.

His ability to adapt mid-season, including changes to his pitching style, has kept him competitive. With potential suitors like the New York Mets and Baltimore Orioles, the question remains whether he’s worth a $200 million contract.
