The MLB offseason was interrupted for 99 days by the MLB owner’s lockout. The result is an abbreviated period of one week to assemble teams for the 2022 season and get ready for Spring Training games.
The Pittsburgh Pirates aren’t expected to contend in 2022, but they could still have some moves in line over the next week. Not all of those moves could be for the 2022 season.
The biggest consistent rumor we’ve heard this offseason has been trade interest in Bryan Reynolds. We’ve heard that Reynolds turned down an extension from the Pirates, he hasn’t talked to them about an extension since the offseason started, and several teams have been interested in him, including the Marlins and Mariners.
