Pirates and Bryan Reynolds far apart in contract talks amid trade rumors

News and notes surrounding outfielder Bryan Reynolds are heating up to begin 2023. The Pittsburgh Pirates star requested a trade on Dec. 3, 2022, following a breakdown in extension talks.

A 2021 All-Star and Gold Glove Finalist, Reynolds and the Pirates are reportedly $50 million apart in extension discussions, according to MLB Trade Rumors. Trade speculation has hovered around Reynolds since his demand to be moved, with teams including the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners as two of the possible suitors.

MLB Network insider and New York Post writer Jon Heyman talked to one team exec describing the Pirates' request as “unrealistic asks” and nothing happening now.
