Ke'Bryan Hayes takes parting shot at Pirates the second he arrived to Reds via trade

Ten years after they selected him with the No. 32 overall pick the 2015 MLB Draft, the Pittsburgh Pirates shipped third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes to the Cincinnati Reds ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

Hayes slashed .254/.307/.369 (for an OPS of .676) in his six seasons and 576 games with the Pirates. He won a Gold Glove at third base in 2023, and he's on track to win another in 2025. He signed an eight-year, $70 million contract extension in 2022, the largest contract in franchise history at the time it was signed, but he never took off offensively in Pittsburgh.
