The San Francisco Giants desperately need a star pitcher, but with Corbin Burnes<\/a> now asking for over $245 million, should they look elsewhere?<\/p>\n

SF Giants May Shift Away from Pursuing Corbin Burnes<\/h2>\n

Burnes stands out as the best pitcher remaining on the market, so it\u2019s no surprise that plenty of teams are reportedly pursuing him<\/a>. The Giants, widely regarded as the favorites, seemed like the most likely destination for Burnes. With franchise legend Buster Posey<\/a> leading the charge and the team in dire need of a starting pitcher, many expected the California kid to pitch at Oracle Park next year. However, the market for starting pitchers has shattered expectations. The Yankees recently added two years and $62 million to Max Fried<\/a>\u2019s deal beyond MLBTR\u2019s predictions, highlighting the soaring cost of elite arms. Now, rumors suggest that Corbin Burnes seeks $245 million–$45 million more than anticipated–likely for just one additional year.<\/p>\n
