The Pittsburgh Pirates and Bryan Reynolds are still talking about a contract extension, but there is one key detail being discussed that is preventing the two sides from reaching an agreement.
Per The Athletic's Rob Biertempfel, Reynolds wants the deal to include an opt-out but the Pirates "have traditionally been opposed to that type of clause" in their contracts.
Biertempfel did note both parties have agreed on a lot of key details, including a financial package worth about $106 million, and Reynolds is willing to have a lot of the money back loaded to give the Pirates more financial wiggle room early in the deal.
