Mueller - Reynolds is best as trade chip, How should the Pirates handle contracts?

Chris does not want the Bryan Reynolds deal to happen, citing his age as his biggest reason against it. Chris said he is their best asset as a trade chip. He wants the Pirates to pay all of their young guys in hopes they get a bargain deal. He thinks Reynolds going out there and doing his thing to draw a trade return would be the best thing that could happen this season.

Why can’t the Pirates model themselves after the Cleveland Guardians? They are locking up big-time players and competing for playoff spots year after year. How far apart are the Pirates to a deal with Bryan Reynolds? Chris brought up memories of Barry Bonds leaving in free agency. What would be a fair deal for Reynolds and do you want to see it happen?
