Diamondbacks strengthen rotation with Corbin Burnes addition

The Arizona Diamondbacks finished the 2024 season with an 89-73 record, placing third in the NL West. Key departures include first baseman Christian Walker and pitcher Paul Sewald. New additions feature pitcher Corbin Burnes and first baseman Josh Naylor. The team aims to improve after a slow start last season. The rotation is strong, led by Burnes, Zac Gallen, and Merrill Kelly. However, questions remain about the reworked bullpen's performance in late-game situations. Top prospect Jordan Lawlar is ready to return after injuries, while catcher Adrian Del Castillo showed promise last season. The Diamondbacks hope to build on their 2023 World Series appearance with a solid roster and strong defensive outfield.
