Pirates lock down center fielder Bryan Reynolds with record eight-year, $106.75M extension

Reynolds and the Pirates agreed to an eight-year, $106.75 million contract extension, marking the largest deal in franchise history.
Reynolds had requested a trade from Pittsburgh over the winter, but talks picked up in recent days and a limited no-trade clause helped push the deal across the finish line.
Reynolds' hot start has helped buttress the Pirates, whose 16-7 record is the best in the National League and second only to the 20-3 Tampa Bay Rays.
Reynolds joins third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes as the only Pirates locked up beyond the 2023 season.
The extension removes a potential trade option for the New York Yankees, whose outfield has been struggling with injuries and poor performance.
