BOSTON -- Bryan Reynolds' smile and look probably said everything that needed to be said.
Much of the focus around him these past few days, weeks and months has been about everything but baseball. The contract talks -- currently on hold due to the request for a player opt-out -- the trade request, his future with the club... there are plenty of outside sources of stress.
None of them showed when Reynolds stepped onto Fenway Park Monday, hitting two home runs to help the Pirates beat the Red Sox by a score of 7-6.
