The Pittsburgh Pirates and Bryan Reynolds have agreed to an eight-year, $106.75M extension that will keep the 2021 All-Star in Pittsburgh through at least 2030 and includes a team option for 2031.

The deal is pending a physical and includes modified no-trade protection and does not include any opt-outs. Reynolds, 28, and the Pirates had been negotiating an extension since the offseason.
