Opt-Out Clause The Sticking Point For Bryan Reynolds Extension

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.

The Pirates and outfielder Bryan Reynolds have been discussing a contract extension in recent days, with today’s opener reportedly considered a cutoff point.

Extension Deadline Almost Here For Bryan Reynolds

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.

Bryan Reynolds Says No News On Contract Extension

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.

Pirates Haven't Made An Offer To Bryan Reynolds

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.

Bryan Reynolds Open To Extension With Pirates

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.

Latest On Pirates, Bryan Reynolds

Bucs Want Soto-Like Trade For Bryan Reynolds

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.

Rangers Among The Suitors For Bryan Reynolds

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.

Yankees Still Considering Bryan Reynolds

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.
