The ballclub reportedly was \u201cin contact\u201d with the right-hander, which implied the Red Sox were doing their due diligence on the free-agent market.<\/p>\n<p>According to the New York Post\u2019s Jon Heyman, Burnes agreed to a six-year, $210 million contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was a massive deal for the 2021 National League Cy Young winner, though not near a record-setting pact insiders expected. The San Francisco Giants and Toronto Blue Jays outbid the D-backs, according to USA Today\u2019s Bob Nightengale, but the tax difference in Arizona was the dealbreaker.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a tough look for the Jays, especially since they were viewed as one of the favorites to sign Burnes. It\u2019s also a rough outlook for the Baltimore Orioles, a club that didn\u2019t seem close in the sweepstakes to retain their ace.<\/p>\n<p>For the Red Sox, there\u2019s a strong case to be made that Garrett Crochet and Walker Buehler combined are better for the rotation than spending a ton of money on Burnes. It\u2019s better than what Toronto and Baltimore have as those teams were left scrambling toward the rest of the pitching market.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The O\u2019s still have one of the best lineups in the division, so they have that to fall back on. However, for the Blue Jays, this was a disaster offseason when it came to public perception.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>They reportedly were in the Juan Soto sweepstakes and were willing to go to historic levels financially, but ultimately missed out on the superstar slugger. They were open to bringing back Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez, but the All-Star instead returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers. If Vladimir Guerrero Jr. walks away, the fan base will be irate on a nuclear level.<\/p>\n<p>There are still moves that can be made; the Red Sox reportedly are still in the running for Alex Bregman. However, when it comes to offseason winners, it\u2019s fair to put Boston ahead of Baltimore and Toronto.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corbin Burnes reportedly agreed to a massive deal with the Diamondbacks, making the Red Sox a clear winner over two of their rivals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":21834,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
