Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Money agreed to, but opt-out hurdle
The inclusion of an opt-out clause is the sticking point in contract extension negotiations between Reynolds and the Pirates, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.
The good news is the two sides have come to an agreement on the financial terms of a long-term deal with a package of about $106 million, Biertempfel says. Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette hears that the $106 million figure would cover eight years and would start in 2023. Reynolds has expressed a willingness to back-load the contract and because he's also relented more than the club on the dollar ask, he wants the Pirates to include an opt-out clause. Pittsburgh has historically been opposed to including opt-outs in contracts, but it's possible they might make an exception here. Biertempfel intimates that the Pirates might like to have a deal in place prior to their home opener on April 7. Reynolds -- who is currently under team control through 2025 -- requested a trade back in December when negotiations fell apart, but it seems there's real momentum for a deal now if the two sides can overcome the opt-out hurdle.

Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Starting in LF on Opening Day
Manager Derek Shelton said Reynolds will start in left field in the Pirates' season opener Thursday versus the Reds, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
The Pirates had strongly indicated this spring that Reynolds was likely shifting over to left field, which allows Jack Suwinski to handle center. Though Reynolds projects to see the bulk of his starts in left this season, Shelton noted the 28-year-old could play center on some days. The Pirates are reportedly still trying to sign Reynolds to a contract extension following his offseason trade request.

Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Using heavier bat
Reynolds has been using a heavier bat during spring training to try to improve his timing, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Reynolds is using a bat with a larger handle to counterbalance the weight. It's unclear exactly how long he's opted for the new style of bat, though he's homered in consecutive games after going yard in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta. While he requested a trade this offseason, Reynolds will be the leader of Pittsburgh's outfield so long as he remains with the team.

Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Open to playing more left field
Reynolds said Tuesday that he's open to playing more left field this year, Kevin Gorman of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
That would allow the rangier Jack Suwinski to potentially take over in center field. "I think I grade out better in left, anyway, so that'll be better for everybody," Reynolds told reporters at Pirates camp. "In the past, I've been good in left." Reynolds requested a trade out of Pittsburgh over the winter, but it has yet to come to fruition as of late February.
