A week after signing third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes to an eight-year contract extension, the Pirates have reportedly agreed to another deal with one of their young stars.
Pittsburgh and All-Star outfielder Bryan Reynolds have reportedly reached an agreement on a two-year contract to avoid arbitration, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. The deal will pay Reynolds $6.75 million over the next two seasons, per Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic.
By signing a two-year deal, Reynolds and the Pirates avoid having an arbitration hearing during the season. They will also bypass the arbitration process altogether for next offseason.
