Corbin Burnes is headed to the Arizona Diamondbacks, and it wasn't cheap. The 2021 Cy Young Award winner agreed to a six-year, $210 million deal with the Diamondbacks early Saturday morning. Jon Heyman of the New York Post first reported the agreement, which includes an opt-out for Burnes after two seasons.
