In December of 2022, Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star Bryan Reynolds requested he be traded. Now as Spring Training begins to kick off, Reynold’s trade request is still looming over the Pirates organization and fanbase. Reynolds reported down to Bradenton, Florida early for spring ball, and was finally able to shed some light on his situation over the past couple of months.
Reynolds maintains that he would like to be traded, as he and the Pirates have had some differing opinions on how high he is valued. He was able to clear up that the trade request stems from a desire for a valuable contract extension, but has no ill feelings about playing in Pittsburgh.
