Pittsburgh Pirates fans distraught as outfielder Bryan Reynolds asks for a trade

Bryan Reynolds has requested a trade from the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was in talks about getting an extension on his contract, but the two sides were too far apart. Reynolds, who many teams around the league have been interested in, may finally be put on the market.He had a slash line of .262/.345/.461 with 27 home runs for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2022. He wasn't as productive last season as he was in 2021, where he earned himself an All-Star game appearance. Even with the offensive dip, he was one of the Pirates' best players.Ken Rosenthal@Ken_RosenthalSource confirms: Outfielder Bryan Reynolds has asked the Pirates to trade him.

Coming off two pretty good years. Doesn’t seem like a leader, or even enjoys Pittsburgh for that matter.

They haven't been a .500 team since 2018 when they finished with an 82-79 record. It's been a tough couple of years for the organization.The Pittsburgh Pirates have shown signs of hope recentlyPittsburgh Pirates v Philadelphia PhilliesThe Pirates have showcased some top-level prospects lately. Oneil Cruz got his first full season under his belt last season. The young shortstop has one of the best arms across all infielders. He threw a ball that was recorded at 97.8 mph to first base, the hardest throw by an infielder in Statcast history.If Pittsburgh can keep these prospects intact, they'll be a scary team down the road.
