In a competitive NL West where Dodgers and Padres dominate star power, the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants made substantial investments by signing ace pitcher Corbin Burnes for six years at $210 million and shortstop Willy Adames for seven years at $182 million. Burnes brings a stellar performance track record, while Adames adds offensive prowess. The ability of these players to elevate their teams in a challenging division remains uncertain. The Dodgers continue to strengthen their roster for a championship push, while the Diamondbacks aim to build on last season's successes as they re-enter playoff contention.
Burnes, 30, is a top-rung starting pitcher, a Cy Young Award winner who regularly exceeds 30 starts and 200 strikeouts per season while keeping his earned-run average under 3.00.
Adames, 29, is a top-rung shortstop, a power hitter and clubhouse leader who compiled 32 home runs, 112 runs batted in and 21 stolen bases last season in Milwaukee.
