However, much of their offseason was dominated by Bryan Reynolds storylines. Reynolds, a star outfielder, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pirates-news-bryan-reynolds-extension-trade-request" rel="noopener">requested a trade</a> but nothing has come to fruition. Nevertheless, there is still reason for excitement in Pittsburgh heading into the 2023 campaign. Without further ado, here are three bold Pirates predictions for the 2023 MLB season.</p><p>*<a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com" rel="noopener">Stats via</a> Baseball Reference.</p><h2><b>Oneil Cruz, Ke’Bryan Hayes both make NL All-Star team</b></h2><p>Oneil Cruz and Ke’Bryan Hayes are two of the most exciting young players in baseball. Hayes has been a breakout candidate for a number of years, but has dealt with injuries. Meanwhile, Cruz burst onto the scene in 2022 and made a name for himself. Although, there are still holes in both their games.</p><p>Cruz, a 6’7 shortstop, hit just .233 with a .744 OPS and 17 home runs last year. He played in 87 games and certainly flashed signs of star-studded potential. With a healthy spring and continued development, Cruz is a 2023 All-Star candidate.</p><p>Hayes reportedly put on 10-15 pounds of muscle after dealing with injuries over the past few years. He was able to play in over 130 games last year but didn’t offer much production. The Pirates are hopeful he can turn things around in 2023.</p><p>Hayes dealt with a lower back issue throughout 2022 and <a href="https://pittsburghbaseballnow.com/kebryan-hayes-hopes-offseason-program-changes-something/" rel="noopener">addressed adding muscle</a> to prevent a similar problem this season, per pittsburghbaseballnow.com’s John Perrotto.</p><p>“It was figuring out what I needed to do for my back, getting a team (of trainers) around me to help me address some problems and ultimately got to feeling better and figuring out what I needed to do in the weight room to not aggravate it and stuff like that,” Hayes said.</p><p>Hayes and Cruz will be players to watch in 2023.</p><h2><b>Pirates don’t trade Bryan Reynolds</b></h2><p>As mentioned earlier, Bryan Reynolds previously requested a trade. However, he could change his mind if Pittsburgh demonstrates winning potential.</p><p>The Pirates likely won’t make the playoffs in 2023. But they have young players breaking onto the scene and could contend sooner rather than later. Reynolds’ name is destined to pop up in rumors ahead of the trade deadline. And many people around the MLB world will expect him to be traded.</p><p>The Pirates may look to extend Reynolds this spring. If that happens, he obviously wouldn’t be traded. It will be a situation to monitor prior to Opening Day.</p><h2><b>Andrew McCutchen hits home run in final at-bat, retires after season</b></h2><p>Andrew McCutchen, who won an MVP during his initial tenure with the Pirates, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pirates-news-andrew-mccutchen-pittsburgh-come-full-circle-with-reunion" rel="noopener">re-signed with the ball club</a> during the offseason. The former All-Star made it clear that he still wants to compete at a high level. He will turn 37-years old at the end of the season so his post-2023 future isn’t certain by any means.</p><p>But it wouldn’t be shocking to see McCutchen call it a career after the season. Retiring as a Pirate would make sense for the former superstar. And McCutchen, who never backs down from the big moment, will homer in his final at-bat if he does indeed decide to hang up his cleats following the year.</p><p>In the end, the Pirates aren’t expected to make any kind of playoff run. But with Andrew McCutchen back in the fold, a superstar in Bryan Reynolds patrolling center field, and young talent in Ke’Bryan Hayes and Oneil Cruz on the roster, there are reasons to for Pittsburgh fans to be excited this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While his trade demand isn’t going away, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/1-perfect-mlb-trade-rangers-must-offer-pirates-bryan-reynolds" rel="noopener">Reynolds appears to</a> have had a slight change of heart regarding his Pirates’ status.</p><p>While Reynolds said his Pirates’ trade request <a href="https://twitter.com/JPerrotto/status/1625865307242868736" rel="noopener">still stands</a>, the outfielder is now willing to re-open long-term extension talks with Pittsburgh, via John Perrotto of Pittsburgh Baseball Now. Earlier this offseason, the Pirates <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/01/06/yankees-eye-pirates-bryan-reynolds-amid-unrealistic-asks/" rel="noopener">offered</a> Reynolds a six-year, $75 million extension, which he declined.</p><p>After making his trade request, Reynolds saw interest from teams such as the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers. However, to the point, the Pirates’ asking price has been deemed too high. Reynolds is still looking for a move out of Pittsburgh. But he doesn’t look opposed to remaining with the Pirates, at the right price.</p><p>Bryan Reynolds has been in the MLB since 2019, appearing in 493 games for the Pirates. He has hit .281 with 74 home runs, 239 RBI and 16 stolen bases. Reynolds earned his first All Star nod in 2021, leading the MLB in triples with eight. The outfielder has also been a star on defense, holding a career .990 fielding percentage.</p><p>Alongside his work on the field, Reynolds’ value is also derived from his team-friendly contract. Reynolds is under team control through 2026 and is only making $6.75 million this season. Any team acquiring the outfielder would be receiving much more than just a rental.</p><p>The Pirates could look to still trade Reynolds. Pittsburgh would land even more talented prospects for their growing farm system.</p><p>But Reynolds isn’t fully out on the Pirates. They’ll have to get much closer in terms of money, but Reynolds is now willing to sign a long-term extension and remain in Pittsburgh for the foreseeable future.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There are still a couple of big names who could get moved, but none are bigger than Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds, who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-bryan-reynolds-drawing-interest-from-blue-jays-amid-pirates-trade-request" rel="noopener">requested a trade</a> off of the Pirates earlier this offseason.</p><p>Reynolds is one of the top outfielders in the game, and ever since his trade request went public, he’s drawn a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rangers-news-the-reason-texas-is-in-prime-position-to-pull-off-bryan-reynolds-trade" rel="noopener">ton of interest</a> on the market. The problem is that the Pirates don’t seem to be in any rush to trade Reynolds for whatever reason, and that has resulted in a <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/01/12/what-pirates-want-in-bryan-reynolds-deal-is-frustrating-rivals/" rel="noopener">mammoth asking price</a> being established for Reynolds.</p><p>As of right now, a trade doesn’t seem imminent for Reynolds, but the Texas Rangers are one of the many teams that have emerged as a potential suitor for the star outfielder should he get moved. It may be a bit of a steep price, but Texas has put together a very aggressive offseason, and if they want to continue that trend, here’s the perfect trade offer that may convince Pittsburgh to part with Reynolds.</p><h2><b>Rangers get: Bryan Reynolds</b></h2><h2><b>Pirates get: Jack Leiter, Luisangel Acuna, Cole Ragans</b></h2><p>The Pirates don’t really have any shot of contending for a World Series anytime soon, so it doesn’t really make sense as to why they are so set on holding onto Reynolds. The two sides are pretty far apart when it comes to a potential contract extension, and it makes sense to get rid of Reynolds and get something in return for him. But Pitttsburgh’s front office seems to think otherwise for whatever reason.</p><p>It’s not hard to see why Reynolds is such a sought after trade target across the league right now. He doesn’t get as much attention as he should, but that’s typically what happens when you play for one of the worst teams in the league. Reynolds 2022 campaign was very strong (.262 BA, 27 HR, 62 RBI, .807 OPS) and that’s production the Rangers could desperately use in their outfield for the upcoming season.</p><p>What would it take to get a deal done here? The Rangers would part with a pair of top-100 prospects, and another major-league ready player in order to get this deal done. It’s a bit of a steep price, but Texas has taken a lot of steps towards building a playoff contender this offseason, and adding Reynolds would reinforce the notion that they want to win as soon as possible.</p><p>The biggest piece of this deal would be Jack Leiter, who the Rangers took with the second overall pick of the 2021 MLB Draft. Leiter looked great in his first season in the minors, but struggled mightily at Double-A last season. Leiter’s numbers were horrific (3-10, 5.54 ERA, 109 K, 1.55 WHIP) and there’s concern that he may have hit a roadblock in his development.</p><p>Leiter is still a really bright young prospect, and the Pirates would likely be thrilled to land him in this deal. With the Rangers trying to become a playoff contender now, they simply may not have the time to wait for him to develop at this point, and if moving him nets them Reynolds, that would probably be an OK outcome.</p><p>Luisangel Acuna is another one of the Rangers top prospects, who spends most of his time in the middle infield at shortstop and second base. Acuna made the jump to Double-A after dominating at High-A early in the season, and while he struggled initially, there’s still a lot to like about his game. Acuna’s final numbers from 2022 are strong (.277 BA, 11 HR, 47 RBI, 40 SB, .795 OPS) but it’s clear he still has some work to do at the plate moving forward.</p><p>The final prospect in this pool is Cole Ragans, who appears to be ready for the majors, and would immediately be able to find a spot in the Pirates rotation most likely. Ragans started at Double-A and eventually made his way to the majors, and while he wasn’t great in his first stint in the majors (0-3, 4.95 ERA, 27 K, 1.48 WHIP) it’s clear he has the potential to have a big season in 2023.</p><p>These three guys would help build up the Pirates farm system even more, and Ragans could even contribute to the major-league squad in 2023. Pittsburgh isn’t going to be contending for a playoff spot anytime soon, so there’s really no sense to hang onto Reynolds when they could get a prospect-laden package like this one. It may be a bit of an expensive price to pay for the Rangers, but they have been making tons of big moves over the past two offseasons, and they could cap things off by swinging this big trade to land Reynolds.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

According to FanSided’s Kody Duncan, both the Minnesota Twins and New York Mets<a href="https://twitter.com/KodyDuncanPGH/status/1613986329653612546" rel="noopener"> offered him the exact same contract</a> that Pittsburgh put on the table.</p><p>While going to Minny or the Big Apple would’ve given Cutch the chance to contend and be in the playoffs, he was clearly content with running it back with the Bucs and potentially finishing out his career with the same organization that made his dreams become a reality in 05′. After all, he’s a big reason this franchise made the playoffs three times between 2013 and 2015.</p><p>The Pirates traded McCutchen to the San Francisco Giants in 2018 as the headliner of the blockbuster that brought Bryan Reynolds to town. He’s now turned into arguably their best player, but Reynolds is still looking to be moved and has turned down the team’s recent extension offers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Still, if the Yankees decide to really make a run at him, they have a lot of intriguing prospects to offer.

Pittsburgh <a href="https://twitter.com/JMackeyPG/status/1599108953023004673" rel="noopener">has stated</a> that they would prefer not to trade the star centerfielder. However, his previous <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pirates-news-bryan-reynolds-makes-shocking-trade-request" rel="noopener">trade request</a> has placed the Pirates into a difficult position.</p><p>Reynolds still has multiple years of team control on his contract and the Pirates feel as if they are close to contending. With a young core of Bryan Reynolds, Ke’Bryan Hayes, and O’Neil Cruz, they project to be an intriguing team to follow moving forward. But a Reynolds trade would likely push their window of contention back by a couple of years. Although a trade will garner talented prospects, the Pirates clearly believe in Reynolds and want to retain him.</p><p>Bryan Reynolds has been linked to a number of different teams since requesting a trade. The Los Angeles Dodgers have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-dodgers-price-for-acquiring-pirates-bryan-reynolds-revealed" rel="noopener">emerged as a team</a> to keep tabs on. The same can be said <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/1-perfect-mlb-trade-yankees-must-offer-pirates-bryan-reynolds" rel="noopener">for the New York Yankees</a>. However, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-pirates-seeking-juan-soto-level-package-in-potential-bryan-reynolds-trade" rel="noopener">Pirates are reportedly asking</a> for an eye-opening return in any Reynolds deal. Their steep asking price may ultimately deter potential suitors from pursing Reynolds via trade this offseason.</p><p>In the end, Pittsburgh will likely need to increase their contract offer if they want to extend Bryan Reynolds. If an extension fails to come to fruition, a trade could come at some point, even if it isn’t this offseason. Reynolds is destined to face trade rumors throughout his remaining tenure with the Pirates unless Pittsburgh finds a way to compete or the two sides agree to an extension.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But the Yankees already have a centerfielder in Harrison Bader, who they acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals during the 2022 season. Bader recently addressed New York’s rumored interested in Reynolds, who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pirates-news-bryan-reynolds-makes-shocking-trade-request" rel="noopener">requested a trade</a> from the Pirates earlier in the offseason.</p><p>“I don’t really pay attention to (trade rumors),” Bader <a href="https://www.nj.com/yankees/2023/01/yankees-fan-favorite-says-pirates-bryan-reynolds-would-make-great-addition.html" rel="noopener">said</a>, via Brendan Kuty of nj.com, “but if there’s a position where he would be on our team, that would definitely be an incredible addition. He’s a tremendous talent that I respect. I’ve been playing against him since (Bryan Reynolds played at Vanderbilt University). He’s a stud. That would be awesome.”</p><p>The Yankees have been linked to a number of left fielders during the offseason. With Aaron Judge in right and Harrison Bader in center, left field is a question mark. Giancarlo Stanton could play some left this season, but the Yankees may prefer to keep him at DH in 2023. Bryan Reynolds would likely profile as New York’s left fielder if a trade were to get completed.</p><p>Bryan Reynolds has drawn trade interest from a number of other teams as well. The Los Angeles Dodgers, Texas Rangers, and Toronto Blue Jays are just a few of the ball clubs that have been connected to the Pirates’ star. Reynolds is a player who offers impressive defensive ability to go along with power from both sides of the plate.</p><p>It will be interesting to see if the Yankees are able to acquire Reynolds from Pittsburgh ahead of the 2023 campaign.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
