Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds turned down two long-term deals with the team before the 2021 season, according to a source. Reynolds finished 11th in National League MVP voting last year and was 16th in fWAR (5.5) last season. The 27-year-old bet on himself and made the right decision. The Pirates and Reynolds have yet to re-connect on contract negotiations, but that could happen this spring now that MLB's lockout has been lifted. The Miami Marlins are a team that has already shown interest in Reynolds if he doesn't get extended by the Pirates. Reynolds has become one of the best young hitters in the game since entering the league in 2019. He was a first-time All-Star in 2021 when he hit .302/.390/.522 with 24 home runs, 90 RBI, five steals and a league-high eight triples in 646 plate appearances over 159 games.

The Pittsburgh Pirates haven't discussed a contract extension with outfielder Bryan Reynolds. Before the lockout, teams and players on the 40-man roster weren't allowed to communicate; nothing was brought up about his future in Pittsburgh. "I didn't hear anything regarding that from them," said Reynolds. The 27-year-old was the subject of multiple trade rumors before the lockout but is under team control until 2025. "I want to be here," said Reynolds. "I like Pittsburgh." He was the focal point of the 2021 trade deadline and remained in Pittsburgh despite the team receiving multiple trade offers for the outfielder. He was terrific in 2021, slashing .302/.390/.522 with 24 homers, 35 doubles, eight triples, 90 RBI,93 runs, and five stolen bases across 158 games. It remains to be seen if a rebuilding Pittsburgh team will extend Reynolds or deal him once the lockout ends. Stay tuned.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds has been drawing interest from multiple teams on the trade market, including the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network. The interest makes sense given the way he bounced back after a miserable 2020 season, slashing .302/.390/.522 with 24 HRs, 90 RBI, 93 runs scored, and five stolen bases during 159 games. Both clubs have open spots in the outfield, as the Yankees could let Brett Gardner walk after hitting the free agent market, and the Mariners project to start Jake Fraley in left field. However, the Pirates aren't in a rush to move the 26-year old, as he won't be a free agent until after 2025. Reynolds is a great batting average contributor and has 20+ home run potential, but he's in a weak Pirates lineup and won't steal many bases, hurting his value a bit.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds will get the day off Sunday as the Pirates face starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara and the Miami Marlins. The Pirates will instead deploy Anthony Alford, Ben Gamel, and Cole Tucker across the outfield. Reynolds has been outstanding this season, slashing .297/.385/.511 with 23 homers and five steals in 519 at-bats. He is a contributor across all fantasy categories, and managers can expect him to be back in the lineup on Monday against Cincinnati.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a home run, two walks, three RBI and two runs scored in a 10-7 win over the Nationals on Saturday. He launched his 23rd homer of the year in the victory, as he's now slashing .300/.384/.516 with five steals, 84 RBI and 80 runs scored in 139 games. He's become the top fantasy option in Pittsburgh this year, and should finish out the rest of this season on a high note.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds is on the bench for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals and left-handed starter J.A. Happ. Reynolds has been Pittsburgh's best position player this season, batting .300 with a .381 on-base percentage, 21 home runs, and four stolen bases in 517 plate appearances. It'll be Anthony Alford starting in left field in Reynolds' place and batting eighth against the Cardinals. The 26-year-old is hitting .167 with a .259 on-base percentage, a home run, and a stolen base in 54 plate appearances this season. You're probably better off looking elsewhere for streaming help in the outfield.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in a 14-4 Game 1 win over the Brewers on Saturday. It was his 21st homer of the year, as he's now slashing .309/.392/.539 with 71 RBI and 68 runs scored over 118 games. He's been particularly hot at the plate recently, slashing .409/.480/.955 with three homers, nine RBI and five runs scored over his last seven games. He'll look to keep things rolling in the series finale with Milwaukee on Sunday.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds just missed out on hitting for the cycle on Saturday, finishing 3-for-4 with a triple, a home run, three RBI and a run scored in an 11-3 loss to the Reds. He has been tearing it up at the plate over his last 15 games, slashing .321/.390/.604 with two homers, 11 RBI and 10 runs scored. That shouldn't be too surprising to fantasy managers, as Reynolds has emerged as one of the top outfielders in the game this season with a .308/.390/.530 triple-slash line, 19 home runs, 65 RBI and 64 runs scored over 108 games.
