Chase Burns isn’t going anywhere for a while.
According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Reds locked up the 23-year-old starter to a seven-year, $105 million deal that will keep him in Cincinnati through the 2033 season. A first-time All-Star this season, Burns now has the security of a long-term deal, while the team got a team-friendly extension done in the middle of his breakout campaign. It was the obvious move for a franchise on the rise.
