Reds Acquire Hayes from Pirates to Strengthen Defense

The Cincinnati Reds traded for Ke'Bryan Hayes, a really good third baseman, from the Pittsburgh Pirates.

This should make the Reds' defense better and help them try to get into the playoffs.

Hayes is under contract for a few more years.

In return, the Pirates got a pitcher named Taylor Rogers and a young player named Sammy Stafura.

Rogers is a relief pitcher, and Stafura is a young shortstop.

This trade helps the Pirates, who are rebuilding their team.

The Reds will also be able to move another player, Noelvi Marte, to a new position in the outfield.
