It starts at Pittsburgh.
We knew that the pirates, who want to save money so as not to maximize the period when Paul Skenes wins almost nothing (…) and to make sure to lose, store Ke'Bryan Hayes.
And here in this day before the deadline for transactions, Hayes was exchanged … in the pirate division.
According to several sources, it was the Reds of Cincinnati (who were also in the case of Eugenio Suarez, their former player) who managed to uproot Hayes de la Pennsylvania. The Ohio club, led by Terry Francona, wants to win and has probably not finished moving. #Launcher

The launcher Taylor Rogers and the Hope (stopped stop) Sammy Stafura take the opposite path.
Hayes is not the best offensive player, but his defensive is ready for the third goal. Maybe the air change could do it good and restart it a bit.
Formerly, the Reds overflowed with young people at the forefront and the idea of going to seek Ke'bryan Hayes would not have been logical. But there, to see him alongside Elly de la Cruz at the pre-champ will do good.
He will earn seven or eight million dollars a year until 2029. And in 2030, the Reds have a contract option at $ 12 million. Hayes is therefore in town for a few seasons, anyway.
I am not surprised that the pirates chose to exchange Hayes. But again, the club is retreating. Building something becomes more and more impossible, it looks like.
Let's see the rest. Will Tommy Pham be the next one? David Bednar in Toronto, maybe?
