Chase Burns Agrees to $105 Million, 7-Year Deal with Reds for 2027-33, AP Sources Say
The deal gives Cincinnati control of the 23-year-old All-Star through 2031 and sets a record guarantee for a pitcher with under four years of service.
- On Thursday, the Cincinnati Reds signed All-Star right-hander Chase Burns to a seven-year, $105 million contract extension running through 2033 with no options or deferrals.
- Since debuting in 2025, the 23-year-old has emerged as a dominant starter, posting an 11-1 record with a 2.54 ERA while earning his first All-Star nod this year as the 2024 draft pick.
- The agreement marks the largest guarantee for a pitcher with less than four years of service time in MLB history, tying former starter Homer Bailey's record for the biggest pitching contract in Reds history.
- By locking up Burns and starting pitcher Hunter Greene, Cincinnati secures its top rotation pieces through at least 2029, positioning the duo as a foundational pair for long-term success.
- Despite the team's 43-52 record, Cincinnati views this investment as a cornerstone for future contention, mirroring the strategy used when extending Greene in 2023 to sustain long-term success.
