The Diamondbacks have made significant investments in their pitching staff, being a leading team in signing veteran free-agent starters over the last two years. They signed Eduardo Rodriguez for four years at $80MM and secured Jordan Montgomery for one year at $25MM, showcasing their commitment to improving their rotation. The standout move was the unexpected signing of Corbin Burnes for six years at $210MM, a decision that reflects their aggressive strategy. Despite these additions, the team's performance has not aligned with their investments over the last two seasons.
Few teams have more aggressively added veteran rotation help over the past two years than the Diamondbacks, signing three high-value free-agent pitchers.
The true shocker came last winter, when they emerged out of nowhere as the landing spot for Corbin Burnes, committing to a six-year deal worth $210MM.
