| 7/05/25 | Yankees Named Landing Spot for Gold Glove Third Baseman. The New York Yankees are in need of an infielder, particularly a third baseman, ahead of the July 31 trade deadline, and there's a number of enticing options at the position who may come available over the next few weeks. Among those aforementioned choices is Ke'Bryan Hayes of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Sportsnaut's Jason Burgos believes the 28-year-old would fit in like a glove with the Yankees.

| 7/02/25 | [Last Word on Sports] - Trade Rumors Swirl Around Ke’Bryan Hayes, but it’s Problematic. The Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers, and New York Yankees have their eyes on Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman . So says Jon Heyman of the New York Post as to the Yankees, and reporter Francys Romero as to the others. [caption id="attachment_103391" align="alignnone" width="467"] May 28, 2025; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Ke'Bryan Hayes against the Arizona Diamondbacks in at Chase Field. Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images[/caption] According to Heyman and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Pirates have made it known that anybody on their roster is available except for pitching wunderkind and franchise icon . It’s hard for this writer to believe that , , and are available. Cruz, because of his rare raw talent. Bednar, because owner reportedly blocked attempts to trade him previously. Reynolds, because Nutting was personally involved in his negotiations. But one never knows. Pirates Third Baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes Subject of Trade Rumors For now, we’ll look at the possibility of the Pirates dealing Hayes by the trade deadline. For the second year in a row, he’s struggled offensively. He’s come around lately. He hit .301/.333/.373 in June. That raised his stat line to .247/.297/.304, 2 HR, and 29 RBI for the season. Hayes has always provided elite defense. He posted a WAR of 4.5 and 3.9 in 2022 and 2023, respectively, largely due to his glove work. He’s also in the fourth year of an . Unless the Pirates kick in some money (OK, you can stop laughing now), whoever picks up Hayes will be on the hook for the remainder of this year’s $7 million salary, as well as $7 million in 2026 and 2027 and $8 million in 2028 and 2029. For 2030, there’s a $12 million team option or a $6 million buyout. Several teams are closely monitoring 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes as a trade piece, according to industry sources. Hayes is one of the players most likely to be traded, with the Tigers, Yankees, and Cubs among the potential suitors. — Francys Romero (@francysromeroFR) This writer refrains from making mock trade proposals. Too often, these come across as foolish. Besides, there’s enough of that from Pirates fans on the talk shows and social media. One proposed trading Cruz to the Athletics for . If general manager Ben Cherington is looking to land an Athletics star, he has a better chance of resurrecting from the dead. Who’s On Third? Besides finding a team willing to take on his salary, one obstacle to trading Hayes might be the lack of internal options to take over at third base for the Pirates. The top internal option might be , a 2024 in the utility category. Like Hayes, he’s a good defender who’s struggled with the bat. Since his 2023 rookie year, when he hit .298/.388/.398, Triolo has hit .203/.287/.306. He seems better suited for a utility role. Another internal option would be to move shortstop to third base if he’s not traded himself. That would leave minor leaguers , , or to step in at shortstop. Cheng is the Pirates’ No. 17 prospect. He was projected to arrive in the majors this season. However, in a brief with the big club in April, he looked overmatched, going hitless in seven at-bats with three strikeouts. Furthermore, he’s hitting just .204/.318/.241 in the minors in 2025. Peguero and Williams have gotten looks with the Pirates before. It’s clear that the Pirates view them as nothing more than organizational depth. Besides Cheng, the only other infielder on the Pirates' top 30 prospects list projected to arrive in the major leagues this season is . Yorke has never played on the left side of the infield professionally. Now What? Thus, any deal involving Hayes would have to yield the Pirates a major league-ready third baseman. If not, Cherington would have to have a separate deal for a third baseman in his back pocket. As mentioned, I won’t make a mock trade proposal here. I do note, however, that the Cubs, Tigers, and Yankees each have a third baseman on their prospects list who’s projected to arrive in the majors this season. But should Cherington be trusted to be the man who makes these deals? The Pirates are a team in need of an overhaul, their present six-game winning streak and corresponding offensive barrage notwithstanding. It’s bewildering to see that Cherington is still the Pirates’ GM and will be making these trades. The Pirates faced this situation in 2019 when Cherington was hired. From 2020 to the 2021 trade deadline, he traded nine major leaguers in trades that netted 23 prospects. Today, only 10 are still Pirates property. Of those 10, only four played in the major leagues for Pittsburgh: Bednar, Peguero, , and . Peguero and Suwinski are with Triple-A Indianapolis today. The Last Word The Pirates are 26-24 under . Perhaps they’ll continue to play at this present pace, in which case it may leave the impression that was the problem with the team, thus saving Cherington’s job. Even so, one can’t escape the thought that he’s a lame duck GM. This trade deadline will be an interesting tes... Source: https://sportspyder.com/mlb/oakland-athletics/arti... |

| 6/30/25 | Cubs-Diamondbacks trade idea sends former All-Star slugger to Chicago. The Chicago Cubs showed signs of struggle in June and need to start stringing some wins together, especially against the good teams. At 49-35, the Cubs have a two-game lead over the red-hot Milwaukee Brewers for first place in the National League Central. The main priority for the Cubs at the trade deadline is starting pitching, but adding an All-Star slugging third baseman to the middle of the lineup could be another priority. Christopher Kline of FanSided ranked three rumored Cubs trade targets not named Ke'Bryan Hayes and a former NL Central foe took the top spot.
