Top Landing Spots For Bryan Reynolds if Pirates Trade All-Star

The Pittsburgh Pirates organization has some big decisions to make across the roster this offseason, with the front office needing to address holes on the team.

But the team also has a few players on the roster who could be traded, and the franchise needs to decide on them. One of those is veteran outfielder Bryan Reynolds, who has been subject to trade rumors in the past.

Last season, Reynolds put together a strong year after a down 2025. For the year, Reynolds hit .261 with 17 home runs and 72 RBIs, while posting an OPS of .789.

If the Pirates do decide to move on from Reynolds this offseason, here are three teams that would make a lot of sense to go after him:

1. Houston Astros

The Astros made the playoffs this past season, but they were swept out of the wild-card series by the Chicago White Sox. As the team prepares for the offseason, they could use a bat like Reynold, while shorting up the outfield as well.

Reynolds still can play very well, as evident by his bounce back season in 2026, and Houston could use his production for the year. The Astros need more consistency from the lineup, and Reynolds could easily provide that to them.

2. Kansas City Royals

The Royals have been a team that has needed more outfield help for some time now, with the front office patching up holes. But if they were to land Reynolds, it could finally give them some long-term answer in the outfield that they have been waiting for.

Putting Reynolds next to Bobby Witt Jr. could offer the Royals more consistency from the offense, which has been a problem. Plus, if Kansas City isn't careful, Witt could ask to leave the organization soon, so the clock is ticking for this organization to get back to being competitive.

3. Seattle Mariners

For the Mariners, this team completely underperformed in 2026, with the group missing the playoffs entirely, despite having high expectations entering the year. Seattle will be looking to make some big moves this offseason, and Reynolds could be a strong addition to the lineup, especially with their need for more outfield help.

Reynolds can provide a reliable presence for this team, either at the top of the lineup, or even toward the middle with the power hitters on the roster. Either way, Seattle has a good farm system, and the Pirates may be able to exploit this in any hypothetical deal with the AL West team.
