Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic says that talks between slugger Mark Reynolds and the Arizona Diamondbacks are continuing. Reynolds says there are, “pretty heavy talks right now.” It’s expected that Reynolds’ deal will be either a three or four-year deal. The third baseman still has three arbitration years left before he can become a free agent.

Reynolds, 26, would like to complete any type of deal before Opening Day. “If it happens, it’s great,” Reynolds said. “If it doesn’t I’m still doing pretty well for myself.

Despite having a small amount of Major League experience, Reynolds proves that he has the presence of a veteran bat. Reynolds hit .260 with 44 home runs, 102 RBIs and 24 stolen bases. You can see Reynold’s statistics here.
