Reds Lock Up Chase Burns on 7-Year, $105M Extension Through 2033

The Reds agreed to a seven-year, $105 million extension for right-hander Chase Burns, starting next season and running through 2033, adding two years of club control. At 23, Burns has broken out with a 2.54 ERA across 18 starts (102 2/3 IP), 28.6% strikeouts and 9% walks, powered by a 97.8 mph fastball and a 90.5 mph slider with a light-changeup. Left-handed hitters have produced a .214/.307/.409 line with 10 of his 12 homers allowed coming against lefties, while right-handers are at .195/.230/.286. The deal is the largest ever for a pitcher with under four years of service and cements Burns as a rotation cornerstone alongside Hunter Greene, even as the Reds sit nine games under .500 and eye potential further moves for controllable arms.
