Reds Acquiring Ke'Bryan Hayes From Pirates
ESPN's Jeff Passan reports that the Cincinnati Reds are acquiring third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday, according to sources. The Reds will sent shortstop Sammy Stafura and left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers to the Pirates in exchange. Although Hayes has been a disappointment offensively since being taken in the first round in 2015, the 28-year-old is one of the best defensive third basemen in the league and has five years of club control after the 2025 campaign. Hayes should take over at third base in Cincy moving forward, which is bad news for Noelvi Marte. However, he has hit just .236/.279/.290 with two home runs in 100 games this year and won't really be an offensive upgrade as the Reds look to make a run at a wild-card spot. Still, Hayes' minimal fantasy appeal is on the rise with the move to a better ballpark and lineup.
