DUNEDIN, Fla. -- On Wednesday, Bryan Reynolds gave his side of why he made a trade request after contract extension talks with the Pirates did not get very far.
It was the first time Reynolds has gone on the record. Ben Cherington was not as lucky, as the request came the day before the winter meetings in December, meaning he had to answer the whole week -- and the rest of the offseason -- about Reynolds' future.
And if your takeaway from what Reynolds said is not much has changed between December and now, Cherington will probably reenforce it.
