The Cincinnati Reds are reported to have agreed to a seven-year, $105 million contract extension with 23-year-old pitcher Chase Burns. Multiple outlets say the deal follows Burns’ breakout season and comes shortly after his first All-Star selection, with one report placing the timing about 26 major-league starts into his career. Several sources also highlight the contract’s record-setting nature, stating it includes the largest guarantee given to a pitcher with fewer than four years of MLB service time. The agreement is attributed to reporting from major baseball journalists, including ESPN’s Jeff Passan and MLB Network’s Jon Morosi, with details emphasizing the size of the guarantee and the early stage of Burns’ service time. Other accounts similarly describe the extension as a major commitment by the Reds to a standout right-handed pitcher. The reports collectively indicate the extension is finalized or effectively agreed, with the figure and length consistently presented across outlets.
