Excuse me, Paly. One of those rich kid high schools...

Burnes has now turned down more money from the Giants to sign with the Diamondbacks. State tax issues cited as a reason. AZ state income tax rate 2.5%, CA rate 13.3% effectively about 12.5% for Burnes at $35 million in annual income, he'll save about $3.5 million in annual taxes playing for the D'Backs.
