But the four-time All-Star will now join a Diamondbacks team that’s one year removed from winning the NL pennant.
He also was the starting pitcher for the AL in the All-Star Game in July.
It’s also a homecoming for Burnes, an Arizona resident.
He now joins a dynamic and deep Diamondbacks rotation that includes Zac Gallen, Merill Kelly, Eduardo Rodriguez, Brandon Pfaadt, Ryne Nelson and Jordan Montgomery.
The righty went 15-9 with a 2.92 ERA over 194¹/₃ innings for Baltimore last season, when he earned a $15,637,500 salary.
The Orioles acquired Burnes in a February trade after he spent his first six major league seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers.
The 30-year-old has a 3.19 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across seven seasons.
