Corbin Burnes is the consensus top free-agent pitcher this winter .

The 2021 NL Cy Young is set to command a contract in the $200 million range.

Burnes was very good for the first four months of the season , pitching to a 2.47 ERA over 22 starts.

Only eight other pitchers tallied more than 190 innings this past season .

Burnes is one of the top 10 pitchers in baseball — maybe top five if you believe his late-summer adjustments were real.

If Juan Soto signs anywhere but Boston , the Red Sox fans will be clamoring for a top-of-the-rotation arm.

Burnes would help push the Nats closer to contention.
