The Top 10 Landing Spots for Pirates' Bryan Reynolds Amid MLB Trade Rumors
Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Bryan Reynolds requested a trade earlier this month. He is under contract for the next three years. His contract has been reported as astronomical for more than a year. The following are the top 10 landing spots for Reynolds.
Yankees traded Andrew Benintendi to Chicago White Sox for prospects. They lost him in free agency. Yankees are looking for a replacement for left fielder Andrew benintendis. The Pirates are interested in Bryan Reynolds.
Cleveland Guardians won the AL Central last year. They were in the bottom third of the league in slugging and next to last in home runs. The team is looking for a power hitter. Paul Hoynes of cleveland.com reports the teams have been in contact about a possible trade for Mark Reynolds.
Reynolds was a former Giants prospect who they traded to Pittsburgh for Andrew McCutchen almost five years ago. McCuttchen played 130 games for the Giants, hitting .255 with 15 home runs and 55 RBI. Reynolds turned into an All-Star outfielder and was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in 2016.
The Red Sox are interested in trading for Mark Reynolds. The Pirates are not interested. Boston has three top-100 prospects in its farm system. They need to address their outfield needs. Reynolds is better than Kiké Hernández and Alex Verdugo in center field.
The Dodgers non-tendered Cody Bellinger, who played 144 games in center field for them last season. Bryan Reynolds is a left-handed or switch-hitter. The Dodgers have one of the best farm systems in baseball and could meet the Pirates' asking price.
