Bryan Reynolds, the outfielder for the Pirates, confirmed his position as a right fielder for the upcoming season, dismissing rumors about a move to first base. Though the Pirates face depth challenges in the outfield, particularly with Spencer Horwitz out due to wrist surgery, the team acknowledges Reynolds' long-standing interest in playing first base. However, shifting Reynolds might disrupt an already precarious outfield situation, prompting the team to explore other options while prioritizing Reynolds' stability in right field.
Reynolds stated, "It sounds like I'm a right fielder. It helps to focus on that... more of a permanent transition for now."
Manager Derek Shelton noted that Reynolds had expressed interest in playing first base for years but emphasized the need to preserve the outfield depth.
