## Resource

Cincinnati Reds lock up rising ace Chase Burns with a $105 million extension, signaling a new strategy for small market teams. Can locking in young stars like Burns help the Reds return to playoff contention after a disappointing season? Sully examines the franchise’s bold move, the outlook for top talents like Elly De La Cruz, and how this approach compares with teams like the Milwaukee Brewers. Sully also revisits bold MLB predictions made before Opening Day, owning up to surprise picks like the Toronto Blue Jays’ struggles and the surging Philadelphia Phillies’ resurgence behind Kyle Schwarber. Analysis covers MVP and Cy Young favorites including Bobby Witt Jr., Jackson Chourio, and Paul Skenes, plus which managers are on the hot seat. Who will emerge as contenders, and which early picks are aging the worst as the playoff race heats up?
