The Arizona Diamondbacks missed the postseason, even after finishing with an impressive record of 89-73.
Although the Diamondbacks made a World Series appearance in 2023, they were unable to give themselves another opportunity for a long postseason run in 2024.
The Diamondbacks just made a splash signing after they surprised everybody by bringing in the top starting pitcher free agent Corbin Burnes from the Baltimore Orioles.
Burnes signed with the Diamondbacks for six years worth $210 million, and he will likely be the ace of their pitching rotation.
According to B/R Walk-Off on ‘X,’ the Diamondbacks projected starting rotation was released.

In 2024, Burnes started 32 games and had a record of 15-9 with a 2.92 ERA and 181 strikeouts in 194.1 innings pitched.
The Diamondbacks only have one World Series title in franchise history, and it came back in 2001.
With the new look starting rotation, the Diamondbacks will look to win their first National League West title since 2011.
Although the Diamondbacks have not made many postseasons in recent history, their World Series run in 2023 shows that anything can happen come October.
