2025 Player Outlook

The Pirates want to get Reynolds some time at first base this season, and the 1B/OF eligibility will be a welcomed addition for fantasy managers. Reynolds has remained very consistent over the years, hitting at least .260 with 24 home runs in each of the last four seasons. His 1B eligibility will be enticing, as first base isn’t exactly the deepest position in fantasy baseball this season. While Reynolds seems like a safe projection for yet another season of hitting .260+ and 25-ish home runs, it is worth noting that his contact rate has dropped each of the last three seasons, with last year’s 72.9% contact rate being the lowest of his career. I like the lineup around him, and the price point in drafts is fair for his consistency and projectability.

Bryan Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a three-run triple on Monday, powering the Pirates to a 10-3 blowout victory over the Marlins.

The Pirates are undefeated since the Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers over the weekend. Just saying. Reynolds sliced a tie-breaking triple into the right-center field gap with the bases loaded against Marlins starter Eury Pérez in the third inning. The 30-year-old outfielder’s go-ahead knock opened the floodgates to an eventual lopsided win as Pittsburgh scored 10 runs on 15 hits. He’s started to really heat up in recent weeks, batting .333 (19-for-57) with two homers and 14 RBI over his last 15 games.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the Pirates “won’t be opposed to shipping away” Bryan Reynolds or Ke’Bryan Hayes.

Hayes is still owed $36 million over four more seasons, while Reynolds is owed $76 million over five more years. Neither contract is too pricey for a contender to take on. Even though Hayes hasn’t broken out like many people expected, he makes only $7 million per season and still plays strong defense at third base. That could entice a team like the Yankees, who could shift Jazz Chisholm back to second base. Similarly, $15 million per year for Reynolds is not a steep price to pay, especially since the 30-year-old has started to turn it around of late. Given their years of control remaining, some team would need to part with some prospects of note to land either player.

Bryan Reynolds went 4-for-4 with a three-run homer, two runs scored, and a walk to lead the Pirates to a 9-6 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Reynolds was locked in against Corbin Burnes and the Diamdondbacks. He reached in the first and third innings on a pair of base hits and drew a walk in the sixth before scoring on a two-run homer by Henry Davis. Reynolds then doubled in the seventh and gave the Pirates the lead with a three-run homer off Jalen Beeks in the eighth. The 30-year-old outfielder is hitting .223/.292/.360 with seven homers and 30 RBI across 236 plate appearances.
