## Resource

The Reds just dropped a blockbuster: Chase Burns, their All-Star pitcher with just one year of MLB experience, signed a seven-year, $105 million deal — the largest ever for a pitcher under four years of service. It’s the third-biggest contract in franchise history, matching Homer Bailey’s 2014 deal in total value but worth more today with no deferred payments. This bold move signals a new trend in baseball — teams like Pittsburgh and Detroit are also betting big on young stars early. Burns, who’s 11-1 with a 2.54 ERA this season, gets his first start after the break in Seattle. Meanwhile, no word yet on extending Sal Stewart. The Reds are clearly building for the future — and this could be the foundation of something special. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
