Last season, they were the third-youngest team in the MLB. Their average age was 27.46. The two youngest teams were the Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Guardians.Reynolds is coming off of a solid season in 2022. He hit .262/.345/.461 with a career-high 27 home runs. He's really found his power at the plate, combining for 51 home runs over the last two seasons.The Pirates are happy to keep hold of Bryan Reynolds, who's developing into a great outfielder in the league, which is why his asking price is so high. With Spring Training right around the corner, it will be interesting to see how this situation develops.
