But what does it mean for free-agent ace Corbin Burnes?<\/p>\n<p>Almost every year, the Dodgers build a dominant starting rotation, only to rely on their bullpen to survive the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, they still managed to win the 2024 World Series. Los Angeles was linked to this year\u2019s top free agent arms in Snell, Burnes, and Max Fried to help them repeat their success in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Now with\u00a0Snell off the market, all eyes are on Burnes, the first-time free agent and former Cy Young winner.<\/p>\n<p>Acquired\u00a0from the Milwaukee Brewers\u00a0in February, the now 30-year-old right-hander was everything the Baltimore Orioles needed him to be and more.<\/p>\n<p>Burnes made 32 starts for Baltimore, finishing the season with a 2.92 ERA, 1.096 WHIP, and 181 strikeouts. He made his fourth consecutive All-Star Game and finished fifth in AL Cy Young voting, his fifth consecutive top-ten finish.<\/p>\n<p>Already\u00a0the most sought-after free agent pitcher\u00a0available, and also a Scott Boras client like Snell, Burnes could be in for an even bigger payday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=lwosbaseball&amp;dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1858528590364643349&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Flastwordonsports.com%2Fbaseball%2F2024%2F11%2F27%2Fdodgers-snell-corbin-burnes-free-agency%2F&amp;sessionId=7d5588049f2b47cabb70952c4d83c6a85059f968&amp;siteScreenName=lwosbaseball&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1858528590364643349\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div id=\"FreeStarVideoAdContainer\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-parent\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-child\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What the Dodgers Signing Blake Snell Means for Orioles Ace Corbin Burnes<\/h2>\n<p>Rumors have been swirling for months about how much Burnes will sign for and who he will sign with. Insiders agree that he will be seeking at least a six-year contract, likely in the $175 million-$200 million range.<\/p>\n<p>That is slightly higher than the\u00a0seven-year, $172 million extension\u00a0that\u00a0Aaron Nola\u00a0signed last year entering his age-31 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s less than the five-year, $182 million deal Snell, who turns 32 in December, signed with Los Angeles on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Burnes was a perfect fit in Baltimore, but as a smaller market team, even under new ownership, retaining him will be a challenge for the Orioles.<\/p>\n<p>Between Snell and\u00a0Yusei Kikuchi\u2018s\u00a0three-year, $63 million deal\u00a0with the Los Angeles Angels, Boras has secured over $200 million this offseason.\u00a0At this month\u2019s general managers\u2019 meetings, Boras blamed concerns over television revenue for last year\u2019s lackluster free agent market.<\/p>\n<p>With those concerns settled and starters in high demand, Snell\u2019s big deal nearly guarantees the younger Burnes will get one too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers signing two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell came as little surprise.
