"#Pirates All-Star OF Bryan Reynolds is a popular name among GMs this week -- as he was last year -- but he is unlikely to be dealt this offseason. The Pirates believe they will be competitive before he hits free agency after the 2025 season," Morosi tweeted Tuesday.
In 2022, Reynolds hit a career-high 27 home runs and drove in 62 runs. Reynolds, who has been with the Pirates since 2019, inked a two-year deal with the team in April.
Reynolds was named the replacement starting center fielder for the National League All-Star team in 2021 after an injured Ronald Acuña Jr. bowed out due to injury.
