Throughout the offseason the CBS Sports MLB experts will bring you a weekly Batting Around roundtable breaking down pretty much anything. The latest news, a historical question, thoughts about the future of baseball, all sorts of stuff. Last week we discussed Rafael Devers’ future. This week we’re going to do the same with Bryan Reynolds.

 

On which team will Reynolds start 2023, finish 2023, and start 2024?

Matt Snyder: I’ll say he starts this coming season with the Pirates. Their asking price seems to be incredibly high and the teams looking to deal for him aren’t yet desperate enough to cough up what the Pirates want. Plus, Reynolds doesn’t hit free agency until after the 2025 season, so the Pirates don’t have to be in a huge hurry just yet. I’ll say Reynolds starts off the 2023 season looking more like the 2021 version than 2022 and the Pirates realize the time to strike is this July. I’ll go with the Yankees winning the bidding, so he finishes 2023 with them and starts 2024 there as well.
