Burns Locks Down Future With Reds | Cincinnati Reds News

Chase Burns just signed the biggest guaranteed pitcher contract ever for someone with under four years in the majors—tying the Reds’ future to a 23-year-old phenom dominating the NL with an 11-1 record, 2.54 ERA, and 118 strikeouts. Manager Terry Francona calls it a statement of faith, while Burns skips the All-Star Game with a minor groin tweak—no impact on his next start. This extension locks in a cornerstone alongside Hunter Greene, even as the Reds sit last in their division. The move signals a bold, future-focused rebuild.
