Bryan Reynolds

Johan Oviedo and Colin Holderman produced two immaculate innings — nine pitches, three strikeouts — in a span of 21 days.

Here are three steps forward and three steps back from the Pirates' up-and-down first quarter of the season.

The Pirates struck out a season-high 13 times Thursday in a 3-2 loss against the Rays. Some of the calls were ... debatable.

With nudges from Nutting, the Pirates got the Reynolds deal across the finish line. It was a grueling process that unfolded over four years.

Reynolds' extension is the latest in a series of feel-good moments for the Pirates. So who’s next in line? And what’s next for this team?

Reynolds led the Pirates in batting average, home runs, RBIs, on-base percentage and hits in 2022.

For the Rangers to make a run in 2023, they might need a boost in the outfield. Could they trade infield prospects to make that happen?

There are more than 100 days until the Aug. 1 trade deadline, but it's never too early to talk trades. Jim Bowden answers 20 questions.

Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Also, Andrew McCutchen weighs in: “You get to a point where you have decisions you have to make."

The latest in the Reynolds contract talks, what Zastryzny's first Opening Day meant to him, takeaways on Indy's initial roster, and more.

An opt-out clause is the sticking point in contract extension negotiations between the Pirates and Bryan Reynolds.

The Pirates played a lot of waiting games before (in their extension talks with Reynolds) and during their Opening Day win. Is a deal dead?

Expectations have been raised for the team and for manager Derek Shelton. Does that put him on the hot seat right out of the chute?

Plus questions on Corey Seager, Sam Huff, John King and which Rangers are set to take the biggest step forward in 2023.

“That’s something we could see, depending upon what we do with (Andrew McCutchen) being on the field,” manager Derek Shelton said.

Owner Bob Nutting said he is "worried" that Reynolds wrongly interpreted an earlier offer as disrespectful. Neither side has set a deadline.

It’s never easy replacing a franchise icon. Five years later, it's a "full-circle moment" for Reynolds and the man for whom he was traded.

The All-Star outfielder has demanded a trade, but the Pirates have a lot of leverage in contract talks and time is (mostly) on their side.
