Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a double and two walks in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays to extend his hitting streak to a modest seven games. During his hitting streak, Reynolds has recorded multiple hits in five games and is currently hitting a strong .330 (35-for-106) with 10 doubles, a triple, five home runs, 23 RBI, five stolen bases and 17 runs scored in 121 plate appearances over his first 28 games in 2023. Fantasy managers would like to see another home run sometime soon -- his last one came on April 7 -- but you can't really complain otherwise. Reynolds continues to be a huge part of Pittsburgh's fast start this year.

The Pittsburgh Pirates reinstated outfielder Bryan Reynolds from the bereavement list on Wednesday, according to manager Derek Shelton. In other roster moves, the team placed right-hander Wil Crowe (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder discomfort, recalled right-hander Cody Bolton from Triple-A Indianapolis and optioned outfielder Canaan Smith-Njigba to Indianapolis. Reynolds will return to the lineup on Wednesday against Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin after just signing an eight-year, $106.75 million contract extension with Pittsburgh this week. The 28-year-old outfielder needs to be returned to all starting fantasy lineups. He's been great so far with five home runs, 18 RBI, three steals and an .872 OPS in 22 games so far.

The Pittsburgh Pirates and outfielder Bryan Reynolds agreed to an eight-year, $106.75 million contract extension on Tuesday, according to sources. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the deal includes a club option that doesn't have an opt-out. MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reports that ninth-year option is worth $20 million, and Reynolds will have the ability to block a trade to six teams. The Pirates are off to a great start in 2023 and just handed out the largest contract in their franchise history. The 28-year-old Reynolds has been very consistent in his time in the big leagues. He's currently on the bereavement list, but he should return soon to a strong .294/.319/.553 slash line with five doubles, a triple, five home runs, 18 RBI and three stolen bases in his first 22 games.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds was placed on the bereavement list on Sunday. Reynolds should be away from the team for a couple of days so fantasy managers should plan accordingly. The 28-year-old is slashing .294/.319/.553 with five home runs, 18 RBI, and three stolen bases over 85 at-bats. Drew Maggi, who is a career minor leaguer, was recalled from Double-A Altoona in a corresponding move.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds had a big game in Friday's 13-9 win over the White Sox. The 28-year-old went 3-for-5 with six RBI. He also hit a home run, crushing a 414-foot shot to center in the bottom of the 4th inning. Reynold has been on fire in 2023, totaling 13 RBI and five homers while sitting on a .448 average (29 at-bats). He'll look to keep things moving versus Chicago before Pittsburgh starts a three-game homestand against the Houston Astros on Monday.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in the team's 3-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds in the series finale on Sunday. Reynolds clubbed his first home run of the 2023 season as he attempts to work out a long-term contract extension with the organization. The 28-year-old outfielder has gone 3-for-12 (.250) with a homer, two RBI, one run scored, a walk and two strikeouts in his first three games of the season. His fantasy stock would increase dramatically if he were to be traded to a contending team, but if he remains in Pittsburgh, he'll still be a must-start in all fantasy leagues on a daily basis.

An opt-out clause is the current sticking point in contract-extension negotiations between the Pittsburgh Pirates and outfielder Bryan Reynolds, according to a major-league source. Neither side has broken off talks, which means they could still reach a deal in the next few days. The two sides have found common ground over the last few days, agreeing on a package of around $106 million over eight years, according to a major-league source. Reynolds is also willing to backload the money, which would give the team financial flexibility over the next few years. A no-trade clause is not on the table. In exchange for giving up ground on the money end, the 28-year-old wants the ability to opt out of the contract, but the Bucs have historically been opposed to using opt-outs.

There has been plenty of conversation on a potential contract extension for Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds, with the deadline viewed as first pitch on Opening Day on Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds at 4:10 pm ET. Both sides have moved and there seems to be genuine interest in getting something done. Reynolds is starting in left field and is batting second on Thursday against right-hander Hunter Greene. The 28-year-old should play center field some days, but with Reynolds moving to left field the majority of the time in 2023, it opens up a spot for Jack Suwinski in center.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds said there was nothing new to report on a contract extension. Reynolds said he'd like a deal done before Opening Day if the two sides agree on terms. It was reported earlier in the offseason that Reynolds didn't have a timeframe for when he'd like a deal done, but now is saying he's "pretty firm" on Opening Day. Reynolds is a productive outfielder and a good fantasy asset. He's currently ranked as RotoBaller's No. 75 overall player and has an ADP of 77.7. A move to a better lineup would be a little boost to his value.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds said he doesn't have an idea on whether he expects contract-extension talks to be productive with the team because the team has yet to make a new offer. Reynolds also said he's not going to set any deadline to complete a deal, so it sounds as though he'd be open to discussing an extension after the regular season begins in 2023. The Pirates and Reynolds aren't close to any type of long-term deal, and there's also the chance that they look to trade him as the deadline approaches this summer. Contract issues aside, the 28-year-old continued to be productive for fantasy managers in 2022, although his homers and steals fell. A move to a better lineup is what all of Reynolds' fantasy managers will be hoping for this year.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds said that he's still open to a long-term contract extension with the team, and his difference of opinion about his worth led to his trade request in the offseason. "I want that to be a fair deal for both sides, not one side or the other. Not a crazy player [deal], not a crazy team deal. That's always been my number one," Reynolds said. The 28-year-old won't be eligible for free agency for another three years, and he's due to make $6.75 million in 2023. The Pirates' asking price for Reynolds this offseason has been absurdly high, so interested teams will likely check back in before this summer's trade deadline if he hasn't signed an extension to stay in Pittsburgh by then. Reynolds was an All-Star in 2021 and had a career-high 27 home runs while slashing .262/.345/.461 in 145 games in 2022 in his fourth MLB season.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are looking for a "Juan Soto trade" for outfielder Bryan Reynolds, who has asked out of Pittsburgh this offseason, according to an interested team executive. Reynolds has three years left in his current contract, but he makes much less than Soto and isn't in an elite tier of players like Soto. The Pirates offered Reynolds around $76 million, while the Washington Nationals offered Soto $440 million before they traded him to the Padres. The prediction is that Reynolds will remain in Pittsburgh for now due to the absurd asking price, but things could change at the trade deadline in August. The word is that the Bucs sought four top prospects from the New York Yankees, including multiple players from the top group that includes Oswald Peraza, Anthony Volpe and Jasson Dominguez.

According to a tweet from MLB Network's Jon Morosi on Wednesday morning, the Texas Rangers are reportedly "among the top remaining suitors for Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds. The Pirates want high-upside pitching prospects for Reynolds, and Texas has three pitchers among MLB's top 100. Reynolds is coming off a solid year at the plate, both for fantasy managers and the Pirates alike. He wasn't quite able to replicate the success he had in 2021, but he still turned in a quality season. The outfielder hit .262 with a .345 on-base percentage, 27 home runs and seven stolen bases in 614 plate appearances for the Pirates last season. The home run tally represented a career-high for the 27-year-old.

The New York Yankees are among teams consistently interested in Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds, who has requested to be traded this offseason. However, one interested team's executive summed up Pittsburgh's requests for Reynolds as "unrealistic asks." The Pirates aren't very interested in moving Reynolds after offering over $75 million for six years with no team options to the outfielder. They remain very interested in keeping him and would presumably like to resume contract talks. A trade for Reynolds may not happen anytime soon, but there could be some movement closer to spring training if Pittsburgh's asking price comes down. The Yankees are still in need of another outfielder, and a move to the Bronx for Reynolds would significantly increase his fantasy appeal.

The New York Yankees are among the teams in contact with the Pittsburgh Pirates on outfielder Bryan Reynolds in recent weeks, according to sources. One obstacle to a trade is that the Pirates prefer starting pitchers to headline a return, and the top end of the Yankees' system is much deeper in position players. Reynolds has already requested a trade this offseason, but the Pirates previously said they had no plans to grant his request. It looks like their tune has changed a bit now, but it doesn't mean that they'll be able to get what they want for the 27-year-old in order to justify dealing him. Reynolds, an All-Star in 2021 for the first time in his career, has slugged 51 home runs in the last two seasons while also slashing .283/.368/.492 with an .861 OPS, 152 RBI, 167 runs and 12 stolen bases. His fantasy appeal would receive a big boost if he landed in the Bronx.

MLB Network's Jon Morosi reported Monday that the Toronto Blue Jays are interested in switch-hitting Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds. Reynolds recently requested a trade, sparking interest among several teams. The 27-year-old slashed .262/.345/.461 with 27 home runs, 62 RBI, and seven stolen bases in 2022 and could be a potential replacement for Teoscar Hernandez, who was traded to the Seattle Mariners this offseason. Per Morosi, the Blue Jays would likely have to offer one of their top prospects, either starting pitcher Ricky Tiedemann or shortstop Orelvis Martinez to have a chance at drawing interest from the Pirates.

The Pittsburgh Pirates offered to make outfielder Bryan Reynolds the highest-paid player in team history by total money, which means more than third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes' $70 million deal. It's saying something, but Reynolds also has more service time than Hayes and is a more accomplished big-league player. Despite the offer, Reynolds reportedly requested a trade on Saturday. The 27-year-old has been in the middle of trade rumors for the last two years, but the Pirates apparently have no plans to accommodate Reynolds' wish to be shipped out of town. Reynolds remains arbitration-eligible for the next two seasons and hit .262/.345/.461 with an .807 OPS, career-high 27 home runs, 62 RBI, 74 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 542 at-bats in the 2022 season.

Contract-extension negotiations between the Pittsburgh Pirates and outfielder Bryan Reynolds are at an "impasse," causing Reynolds to request a trade. The word is that the Pirates still aren't planning to trade him this offseason, but many teams -- including the New York Mets, San Francisco Giants, New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays -- could use the star center fielder. Unless a team blows the Pirates out of the water with a trade offer for Reynolds, the 27-year-old isn't expected to go anywhere this winter. After his first All-Star campaign in 2021, Reynolds followed it up with a .262/.345/.461 slash line with an .807 OPS, a career-high 27 home runs, 62 RBI, 74 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 145 games in 2022.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds' value has only risen this offseason and the center-field market is thin, but it remains unlikely that he'll be traded this offseason. However, the Pirates will listen to offers and are said to be "open-minded," but the timing is off. Reynolds would be a lot more attractive to fantasy managers on a contending team in 2023, but the Pirates see him as a player to build around in the short term. The 27-year-old switch-hitter hit a career-high 27 home runs in 145 games for the Bucs this season and also slashed .262/.345/.461 with an .807 OPS, 62 RBI, 74 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 614 plate appearances. He could still be on the move if Pittsburgh receives a deal too good to pass up.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds is one of the most popular potential trade pieces heading into the offseason, according to multiple executives. "Reynolds is arbitration-eligible for three seasons, so the Pirates should be able to get a haul for him," one executive said. "It feels like he's been in trade rumors for two years. At some point, the Pirates are going to make the move." That move could come this winter. Other potential trade chips include Marlins right-hander Pablo Lopez, Brewers right-hander Corbin Burnes, Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers and A's catcher Sean Murphy. Reynolds, a first-time All-Star in 2021, hit .262/.345/.461 with an .807 OPS, a career-high 27 home runs, 62 RBI, 74 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 145 games this year. On a contending team with a better lineup around him, Reynolds would be that much more attractive in fantasy.
