The Reds and breakout righty Chase Burns are in agreement on a seven-year, $105MM contract extension, reports Jon Morosi of MLB Network. The Vayner Sports client was already under control via arbitration through the 2031 season. The deal begins next season and runs through 2033 with no option years, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan. That means the Reds are picking up an additional two years of club control over the former No. 2 overall draft pick.
Still just 23 years old, Burns has broken out as one of the best pitchers in baseball. The former Wake Forest standout has started 18 games, totaled 102 2/3 innings, and pitched to a pristine 2.54 earned run average in his first full season at the big league level. He’s punched out 28.6% of his opponents against a 9% walk rate. Burns is a fly-ball pitcher in a homer-friendly park, but he’s managed to avoid hard contact nicely and surrendered an average of only 1.05 homers per nine frames this year.
More to come.
