The Arizona Diamondbacks have made a bold move by signing former Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes to a franchise-record $210 million deal. However, fans will have to wait a bit longer to see him in action due to a scheduling misstep by manager Torey Lovullo. This raises some interesting questions about player management and the importance of routine in a player's performance.

How crucial do you think a player's routine is to their success? Can a single miscalculation really impact a season, especially for a high-profile player like Burnes?

Moreover, with the D-Backs investing so heavily in Burnes, what are your predictions for his impact on the team this season? Will he live up to the expectations, or could this be a case of overhyped potential?

Let’s also consider the broader implications of such a hefty investment. How do you feel about teams spending big on pitchers, especially when the risk of injury or underperformance is always looming?

Share your thoughts, predictions, and any experiences you have with player routines or big contracts in baseball. What do you think the future holds for Burnes and the D-Backs?
