Part 6/8:
Finally, we must address Corbin Burns, the ace pitcher facing his own set of challenges. Initially linked to the Blue Jays and Giants as potential destinations, the narrative has shifted as teams reconsider the financial implications tied to long-term contracts for pitchers—a trend fueled by recent market caution.
The Boston Red Sox, for example, are reported to be reluctant to invest large sums into pitchers after previous mistakes with contracts for Chris Sale and David Price. There’s also speculation surrounding the Texas Rangers, who could be tempted by Burns but have a plethora of pitcher options already on their roster, complicating their need for a high-salaried arm.
