The Philadelphia Phillies are among a slew of teams said to “like” Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Bryan Reynolds, per Jon Heyman of The New York Post. Heyman even goes as far as saying that the Yankees “covet” Reynolds.
Alas, Heyman hears that the Pirates that the Pirates are “unlikely” to part with the 27-year-old.
Of course, at this time a year ago, it would have been more than a fair statement to say that the Washington Nationals were unlikely to trade Trea Turner. And yet they ended up doing so in a megadeal that also sent Max Scherzer to the Los Angeles Dodgers and brought back prospects Keibert Ruiz and Josiah Gray to Washington.
