Before today’s series finale with San Francisco Giants, the Pittsburgh Pirates traded third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes to the Cincinnati Reds for shortstop prospect Sammy Stafura and right-handed pitcher Taylor Rogers.
Hayes was hitting just .236 with two home runs and 36 RBIs in 100 games for the Pirates this year. His name came up frequently in recent weeks as a trade candidate.
Rogers, 34, appeared in 40 games for the Reds this year, compiling a 2.45 ERA while giving up just three home runs in 33 innings. The 10-year veteran will be a free agent after this season.
Stafura, 20, was with Class-A Daytona, hitting .262 with four home runs and 48 RBIs in 88 games. He was a 2023 second-round pick by Cincinnati. Stafura was just short of making Cincinnati’s top 10 prospect list.
The trade deadline is 6 p.m. on Thursday.
