Pirates deal Ke'Bryan Hayes to Reds in NL Central division trade

An NL Central trade was made ahead of MLB’s deadline on Thursday night, as the Pittsburgh Pirates dealt third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes to their rival, the Cincinnati Reds. 

Hayes is heading to the Reds in exchange for reliever Taylor Rogers and 20-year-old shortstop prospect Sammy Stafura, according to the ESPN report. The Pirates later confirmed the deal.

The 28-year-old Hayes, the son of former big leaguer Charlie Hayes, signed an eight-year deal worth $70 million to be a cornerstone piece for the future. However, the Pirates are in sell mode and they’re moving on to clear money for years to come.
