It’s old news by now, but Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds requested to be traded earlier in the offseason.

Even with the request, the Pirates have been hesitant to move their 2021 All-Star and the asking price to obtain his services remains quite high, and rightfully so.

Over the past two seasons, Reynolds has combined to hit .283 with an .861 OPS, 54 doubles, 51 home runs and 152 RBIs.
