More proof Yankees-Pirates Bryan Reynolds trade is unlikely

There is at least one indicator that Mitch Keller and David Bednar are full-fledged members of the rumor mill as Major League Baseball's trade deadline approaches next Tuesday. Some sportsbooks have started setting odds on whether either Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher will be traded and where they will end up on Aug. 2, the day after the deadline. Here…

A potential trade target for your Los Angeles Dodgers could be off the table soon. MLB insider Jon Heyman reported that the Pittsburgh Pirates are trying to extend outfielder Bryan Reynolds before the season starts. In this past offseason, the Dodgers were among the teams in on Reynolds. The Dodgers were (or still are) in need of outfield…

BRADENTON, Fla. - If the Yankees didn't have another game at their spring training home on Saturday and general manager Brian Cashman had made the hour drive from Tampa to Manatee County, he could have seen one of his winter quests really tee one up. Batting left, switch-hitting Pirates center fielder Bryan Reynolds squared up a hanging curve…

BRADENTON, Fla. - The Pirates clubhouse would be reopening at 11:15 a.m., long-time Buccos PR man Dan Hart told me in the LECOM Park press box around 10:15 Thursday. My pre-game mission was tracking down Pirates left fielder Bryan Reynolds and asking him about the Yankees trade rumors. I figured they probably won't go away until Reynolds gets a…

If two straight winters of spit-take spending sprees haven't convinced you that the Rangers believe they can vie for the club's first postseason since 2016, perhaps general manager Chris Young's unequivocal offseason brought you on board: We expect to contend. So what are we to make of what's going on-or more to the point, what hasn't gone on-in…

It may seem like MLB rosters are settled now that spring training is underway, but we all know teams will look different once games start mattering most. There are relevant players on current rosters with question marks over their futures, and contenders are going to be tempted to poach these players from teams otherwise burning daylight. Think of…

The Pittsburgh Pirates have been in a state of rebuild since last making the playoffs in 2015, and they have finished miles under.500 each of the past three seasons. Caesars Sportsbook give the Pirates an over/under win total of 67 this season, and bettors in a surprise have been crushing Pittsburgh's Over unlike any other team so far this spring.…

The Bryan Reynolds trade sweepstakes is an ongoing disaster for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who now face the very real aspect of starting the season without him. The former All-Star outfielder did say the door is open for the Pirates to agree to an extension with him, but the last time the two sides talked, they were far apart on terms. Pittsburgh…

The New York Yankees left field situation remains unresolved and time is running out. And the options are scarce. And the desirable ones won't be cheap. By "desirable ones," we pretty much only mean Pittsburgh Pirates star Bryan Reynolds. The Pirates have held their ground after the 28-year-old requested a trade. They want a king's ransom in return…

The New York Yankees seem to be holding out for a hero in left field, choosing the " Bryan Reynolds or Bust" approach to the offseason. And credit to Brian Cashman. It must hurt him to be leaving the Yankees mob on Twitter so high and dry, but... at this moment... he's opted for Aaron Hicks and Oswaldo Cabrera over a Max Kepler trade (no thanks),…

There's a Danish proverb that goes something along the lines of, "Making predictions is difficult, especially about the future." The originator of said proverb likely didn't have Spring Training roster predictions on their mind, but the sentiment certainly applies here. Predictions are merely educated guesses, placeholders until reality unfolds.…

Sometimes, the roster you put forth in October looks very little like the roster that emerges from spring training. It's difficult to preach patience for a fan base that's been title-starved for 13+ years and is getting sick of broken promises, but those very same fans don't have to look far in the rearview mirror for an example of left field being…

Seems likely that the Yankees are finished with their left field search - at least until the Pirates either pull star Bryan Reynolds off the market or trade him. That's according David Cone, who posited his theory on an episode of Toeing The Slab: A Pitching Podcast on Jomboy Media on Tuesday. "You just get the feeling that they're waiting on Bryan…

MLB Trade Rumors | Simon Hampton: Entering the season with Aaron Hicks, Oswaldo Cabrera, and a bunch of recent minor signings battling it out for the starting left field gig doesn't sound entirely optimal. However, it's starting to become a more likely option. Hampton goes through the Yanks' offseason priority list when it comes to left field,…

Bryan Reynolds, an All-Star center fielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates, made a formal trade request earlier this month after the two parties were unable to come to terms on an extension. Here, the Pirates hold the most sway. Reynolds' contract will be managed by the team, and they don't appear to be interested in trading him. Far before Reynolds…

Now that the free-agent market is mostly settled, the next major player movement to monitor will be trades.

This week tends to lead to plenty of action both in the free agent market and on the trade front. With…

The Blue Jays made the first big move of the MLB offseason, sending All-Star outfield Teoscar Hernandez to the Mariners. What motivated the move? The Toronto Blue Jays had the best offense in the American League and had almost all of their position players returning in 2023. The Blue Jays lineup was too right-handed heavy and making a trade was the…

The annual MLB general manager meetings were held last week in Las Vegas, and the event is traditionally the rumor-filled calm before the storm. (It's also not to be confused with the winter meetings, which will take place in San Diego from Dec. 4-7 and is when a ton of wheeling and dealing goes down.) Free agents couldn't sign with new teams until…

LAS VEGAS - Perhaps the biggest question facing the Blue Jays this off-season is whether they'll trade from their enviable catching depth to address other needs. Thanks to Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk and Gabriel Moreno, Blue Jays catchers generated an MLB-best 7.3 WAR in 2022. They combined to lead MLB in batting average (.273) and on-base…
