Corbin Burnes confirmed he will not opt out of his contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The decision comes after an injury-plagued season that saw him pitch only 10.1 innings due to a torn UCL and subsequent Tommy John surgery. Burnes signed a six-year, $210 million deal with Arizona after the 2024 season and is guaranteed $35 million annually through 2030, although part of that is deferred. His choice not to explore free agency is seen as a practical move given the uncertain market and his recent injury history.
