In what’s become something of an annual tradition, the San Francisco Giants missed out on another marquee free agent on Friday, as right-handed starting pitcher Corbin Burnes reportedly agreed to terms with the Arizona Diamondbacks. According to ...

San Francisco had reportedly been a favorite to sign Burnes, who grew up in Bakersfield and attended Saint Mary’s College in Moraga. Burnes, winner of the 2021 NL Cy Young Award, will join right-handers Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly on the Diamondbacks, a divisional rival who led all of baseball in runs last season.

Corbin Burnes decided to take a less lucrative offer from the Diamondbacks since joining the Blue Jays or Giants would have cost him more in taxes.
