Corbin Burnes sweepstakes narrows to three teams as signing approaches

Corbin Burnes is now likely to sign with one of three teams: the San Francisco Giants, Toronto Blue Jays, or Boston Red Sox. The New York Mets have withdrawn from the competition after re-signing pitcher Sean Manaea. The Baltimore Orioles are also out of the running, as Burnes is expected to command a deal over $200 million. They may now focus on other pitchers to fill their rotation. The Blue Jays have financial flexibility and could offer Burnes a deal exceeding $250 million. The Giants are seen as favorites, having already added Willy Adames to their roster.
