Summary
Chase Burns, the Reds’ electric rookie pitcher, just locked in a seven-year, $105 million deal — the biggest ever for a pitcher with under four years of MLB experience. Already 11-1 with a 2.54 ERA and a fastball nearing 98 mph, Burns is dominating the league and earned an All-Star nod (even if he couldn’t play due to a groin tweak). This no-options, no-deferrals contract vaults him from $800K to a massive payday, signaling the Reds’ serious commitment to building for the future — even as they sit last in their division. His deal now ties Homer Bailey’s for the largest in franchise history. Next up: a start against Seattle. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
