Part 5/7:
While the immediate impact of Corbin Burns joining the Diamondbacks is clear, there are also strategic long-term implications to consider. Both Merrill Kelly and Zack Gallen are in a walk year, and should they find success or hit the open market, the Diamondbacks are set up well with Burns locked in for the foreseeable future.
The future planning in signing Burns points to the organization’s acumen, positioning itself not just for the 2025 season but beyond. The organization appears committed to crafting a sustainable competitive team in the coming years.
