The pirate broadcast team guts Bryan Reynolds’ trade report

That the Pirates aren’t trading Reynolds makes sense considering he’s one of the best players on the team. In 86 games, Reynolds is posting .251/.331/.448 while recording 15 home runs, 32 RBI, 40 runs made and 79 hits.

Reynolds is in the first season of his two-year, $13.5 million contract with the Pirates. Despite this, he still has two years of arbitration left and will not become an unrestricted free agent until after the 2025 season.

On July 31, the Pirates are bottom of the NL Central Division, 40-62, after losing 8-2 to the Phillies.

Teams needing an outfielder might have to look anywhere but Pittsburgh as Reynolds is unlikely to be moved by the Pirates.
