However, as the weeks have passed it started to look more and more unlikely that the four-time All-Star would return in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Well, over the weekend the inevitable occurred and Burnes came to terms on a massive six-year, $210 million deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. It leaves a massive void in the Orioles starting rotation heading into next season.<\/p>\n<p>However, earlier this month they did make a move to bolster the starting staff when they signed Japanese League legend Tomoyuki Sugano. His addition won\u2019t completely fill the Burnes void in 2025. However, a new rumor has revealed another impact arm the organization is targeting to make up for the loss of their top pitcher.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Corbin Burnes stats (2024):<\/strong>\u00a015-9 record, 2.92 ERA, 1.096 WHIP, 181 strikeouts, 194.1 innings pitched<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h-baltimore-orioles-targeting-jack-flaherty-in-mlb-free-agency\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baltimore Orioles targeting Jack Flaherty in MLB free agency?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MLB-World-Series-Los-Angeles-Dodgers-at-New-York-Yankees-24629532.jpg?w=788\" alt=\"baltimore orioles\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCorbin Burnes\u2019 agreement with the Arizona Diamondbacks early Saturday morning left the Baltimore Orioles without a bona fide ace, further emphasizing the need to look elsewhere for pitching help.
