The Sidewinders announced that Zac Gallen, the starting pitcher for this year's opening game, was ranked as the No. 5 starter for the six-year, $210 million signing of Celerian pitcher Corbin Burnes. Head coach Torey Lovullo responded to the outside world by saying: "It was a technical mistake on my part, and I will take responsibility. Burns is a very obedient person, I didn't figure that out, and I respect him for having his own pace, because I don't know him well enough."
Rovalo made his decision too late, and Burns would have to forgo the last warm-up game if he had to pitch the opening game, but that was against Burns' habits. Roileau finally announced that the starting rotation was No. 1 Galen, No. 2 Merrill Kelly, No. 3 Brandon Pfaadt, No. 4 E-Rod (Eduardo Rodriguez), and No. 5 Burns.
In fact, the No. 5 starter is Farter, and in terms of the annual salary of the players in the new season, Burns is $30 million, "E-Rod" is $20 million, Galen is $13.5 million, Kelly is $7 million, and Farter is $800,000.
Burns"We're going to talk about it every five or six weeks, we have to plan things out no matter what the situation is, and since that's the schedule, we can just be ready, whether it's a normal break or an extra day off, as long as we know a few weeks in advance, I can make a plan that works for me," he said.
Taiwanese left-handed Lin Yumin is hoping to make it to the big leagues this season, but the Sidewinders have signed Cy Young Award-winning pitcher Burns, Lin Yumin said: "I didn't feel sad or angry when I saw the news, the ball team has the ball team to consider, and he is a right shot, the left shot position is still there, and I will fight for the rest." Jordan Montgomery, a left-handed pitcher with an annual salary of $22.5 million, was demoted to a bullpen pitcher in the new season, and only E-Rod is a left-handed pitcher in the starting rotation.
