Didn’t Dejan imply that an extension was imminent?
7/100m. $25m for 2 and 3 arb years, $15m AAV the rest of the way. Get that shit done Bob!
Lost in the shuffle of all the contract questions is that Reynolds spent 3 days a week personally hitting with Andy Haines. .300+ 25 HR season incoming
This kinda confirms what I’ve been assuming, Reynolds’ trade request is purely money driven and it’s about him wanting to secure his long term deal. He doesn’t have an issue with playing for the Pirates, he just wants to get his long term deal now. If it’s not from the Pirates, he wants to be traded somewhere that will give him that deal.
Just pay the man.
Lol the notification I got from bleacher report made it seem like he wants out right now no talks about a new contract or extension. These sports apps really try to make this stuff dramatic and the trade request is only there so Reynolds can get more money

Bryan Reynolds on if he’s still open to extension: “I think I’ve been pretty open these last few years that my No. 1 would be to sign an extension in Pittsburgh. I want that to be a fair deal for both sides. Not one side or the other. Not a crazy player, not a crazy team deal.”
