SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Newly signed right-hander Zac Gallen will not receive his full payment on his new $22.025 million, one-year deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks until 2034, as more than half of the contract is deferred.
According to details of the deal obtained by The Associated Press on Sunday, $14.025 million of Gallen's contract is deferred and will be paid in three installments of $4.675 million each July 1 from 2032-34.
Gallen turned down a qualifying offer of the same value from the Diamondbacks in November, but that original offer did not include deferred payments.
The Diamondbacks cleared a spot for Gallen on Sunday by placing right-hander Corbin Burnes on the 60-day injured list.
Gallen's deal to return to Arizona was agreed upon on Friday night, pending a physical, and confirmed by the team on Sunday.
Burnes is recovering from Tommy John surgery and said Tuesday he hopes to return around the All-Star break. He had a 3-2 record with a 2.66 ERA over 11 starts before getting hurt on June 1.
Burnes signed a $210 million, six-year deal with the D-backs before last season.
Gallen is looking to rebound from a subpar 2025 season. He finished with a 13-15 record and a 4.83 ERA. He performed better after the All-Star break, with a 3.97 ERA over his final 13 starts. He had a $13.5 million salary.

LONDON (AP) — Arsenal enjoyed a 4-0 rout of Wigan as five Premier League teams avoided upsets to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup on Sunday.
Third-tier struggler Wigan was overwhelmed against the Premier League leader in front of a 60,000 crowd at Emirates Stadium, with all the goals coming in the first half.
Forwards Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus were on the scoresheet along with Jack Hunt's own-goal as he tried to cut out a cross from Bukayo Saka.
Big-money summer signing Eberechi Eze set up two goals for Arsenal, which won the last of its record 14 FA Cups in 2020.
Premier League teams Fulham, Leeds, Sunderland and Wolverhampton joined the Gunners in the last 16.
Fulham rallied to win 2-1 at second-tier Stoke, with Harrison Reed slotting in a late winner after intercepting Stoke goalkeeper Tommy Simkin’s misjudged pass. Brazilian winger Kevin equalized for Fulham early in the second half after South Korean midfielder Bae Jun-ho's early goal for Stoke.
Midfielder Habib Diarra's penalty earned Sunderland a 1-0 win at second-tier struggler Oxford, and midfielder Santiago Bueno's goal gave Wolves a 1-0 victory at fourth-tier Grimsby at a soggy and rain-soaked Blundell Park.
Leeds needed penalty kicks to win at second-tier Birmingham after a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes and extra time.
German forward Lukas Nmecha put Leeds ahead early in the second half after being set up by Noah Okafor, but Patrick Roberts equalized in the 89th minute with a powerful shot.
In the shootout, Leeds goalkeeper Lucas Perri denied Tommy Doyle before Roberts blazed over, leaving Sean Longstaff to score and send Daniel Farke's side through 4-2.
On Saturday, third-tier Mansfield pulled off an upset by knocking out Premier League Burnley to heap more pressure on coach Scott Parker.
Non-league Macclesfield caused arguably the biggest upset in the competition's history when it beat titleholder Crystal Palace in the third round last month.
