Despite persistent rumors, potential Bryan Reynolds trade makes no sense

The Pittsburgh Pirates are not trading Bryan Reynolds.

Well, at least they shouldn’t.

Rumors and speculation have continued to flow that the All-Star center fielder is on the trade block, pinning Seattle and Miami as likely destinations.

Dealing Reynolds would signal a white flag being waved on the rebuild. An expression that more prospects are still needed through sending away your best player.

An extension with Reynolds sounds more plausible.

The 27-year-old garnered a 6 WAR in his third season thanks to batting .302 with 35 doubles, 8 triples, 24 home runs, and 90 RBI in 159 games.
