The Pittsburgh Pirates have agreed to a two-year deal with outfielder Bryan Reynolds, which avoids the arbitration hearing between the two sides. The agreement was reported by Jeff Passan.
Center fielder Bryan Reynolds and the Pittsburgh Pirates are in agreement on a two-year contract to avoid arbitration, a source familiar with the deal tells ESPN. Reynolds, 27, is Super 2 eligible and thus won’t reach free agency until after the 2025 season. Deal covers 2022-23.

This doesn’t really do much in the long-term, as Reynolds is under control for two additional years beyond 2022-23.
