Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds has requested a trade, according to Robert Murray of MLB Insider. Jon Heyman of the New York Post adds that extension talks between Reynolds and the Pirates had reached an “impasse”, and that caused Reynolds to request the trade. He says the Pirates still have no intention of trading him.
Reynolds has long been a sought-after trade candidate around the game. He’s a young, controllable player performing at an elite level, while the Pirates have been in the depths of a lengthy rebuild. Pittsburgh has rebuffed trade interest though, instead preferring to keep Reynolds around as they look to return to contention while he is under club control.
Reynolds is set to earn $6.75MM this season in the second year of a two-year, $13MM arbitration extension. He’ll then be under club control for a further two seasons via arbitration before becoming eligible for free agency after the 2025 season.
More to come.
