The Pittsburgh Pirates have reportedly come to an extension agreement with star Bryan Reynolds, per insider Jon Heyman. The Pirates haven’t been much of an eye-catching team the past few years, but they seem to be up-and-coming as they have a talented roster and a lot of early-season success. They currently sit atop the NL Central standings. This is undoubtedly impressive as they’ve placed last in the division every season since 2018 and haven’t finished higher than fourth since 2015.

The San Diego Padres are keeping their priorities in order, proof of that came on Saturday, with a new extension of infielder Jake Cronenworth. Cronenworth signed a seven year deal with his original contract heading into arbitration, and free agency eligibility in two years. Now, he’s locked down long term. Complete contract details haven’t been released, but a source reportedly told Mark Feinsand of MLB.com that the contract is worth $80 million. If the amount is accurate, it wouldn’t be shocking.
