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.
