SAN DIEGO -- The Pirates entered the Winter Meetings by making a team statement that "we look forward to [Bryan Reynolds] having a great season for the Pirates” in 2023. Everything Ben Cherington said in San Diego this week supported that the team is in no rush to trade their star outfielder.
But going based on what I heard from industry sources at the Manchester Grand Hyatt this week, the hotel lobby's guess is Reynolds gets his wish.
And based on the speculation I've heard, a lot of it has to deal with the Pirates' rebuild timeline.
