The Pittsburgh Pirates are trying to sign outfielder Bryan Reynolds to a contract extension, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
Heyman added that Opening Day (Thursday) seems to be a deadline for the current set of talks. He also noted that there isn't any word on contract conversations for shortstop Oneil Cruz or other young players on the team.
Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported on 93.7 The Fan's Cook & Joe Show earlier Tuesday that some optimism exists regarding the possibility of getting a deal done.
