Reds acquire Gold Glove 3B Hayes from Pirates
The Cincinnati Reds have completed a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates, acquiring third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes in exchange for relief pitcher Taylor Rogers and prospect Sammy Stafura. Hayes, a Gold Glove winner, is considered one of the top defensive third basemen in the league. The 25-year-old has also shown promise with his bat, hitting .291 with 12 home runs and 51 RBIs last season. The Pirates, on the other hand, receive a veteran reliever in Taylor Rogers, who has a career 3.57 ERA, and a prospect in Sammy Stafura, who is expected to provide depth to their minor league system. The trade is seen as a move by the Reds to bolster their infield defense and potentially improve their offensive production at the hot corner. For the Pirates, the deal allows them to acquire valuable assets as they continue their rebuilding process.
