Bryan Reynolds
The two New York teams started an arms race. The Mets completely ignored the luxury tax and re-signed Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander to make up for the starting rotation after the departure of Jacob deGrom. Recently, they successfully acquired Carlos Carlos with a high salary of 12 years. Correa, although the Yankees have completed their primary task of retaining Aaron Judge and added top starting left-hander Carlos Rodon, it is not enough for the Yankees who are aiming for the World Series championship. According to Jon Morosi Morosi revealed that the Yankees are interested in 27-year-old star outfielder Bryan Reynolds and are currently in talks with the Pirates.
But Morosi also said that it would be difficult to complete this deal. The rebuilding Pirates hope to acquire potential newcomers and use starting pitchers as their top reinforcement candidates. In the Yankees farm rookie rankings published by "Fangraphs", among the top 10, only Yoendrys Gomez, who was recently promoted to 2A, and Drew Thorpe, who will be selected in this year's draft, are among the top 10. Thorpe) is a starting pitcher. These two are not ranked among the top 100 prospects in the league, so it is difficult to attract the attention of the Pirates.
The weak Pirates have been at the bottom of the National League Central Division all year round. Reynolds, who has already shown his skills, is naturally unwilling to accompany the team to continue rebuilding. He submitted a trade application to the team in the off-season. However, the Pirates still have the right to control Reynolds for three years and can wait until a better trade package appears before making a move.

Reynolds' performance declined somewhat last season, but he still maintained an above-average overall offensive index (OPS) of .807 and hit a single-season high of 27 home runs. Reynolds' artillery fire is still fierce, but his main position is center field, and his defensive evaluation is not very high, which will also affect his market value.
