PIT sends
3B Ke'Bryan Hayes $1,104,000 2026
CHC sends
3B Sterlin Thompson
SS Dyan Jorge
OF Zyhir Hope
OF Akil Baddoo $1,005,480 2026
I'm in need of a long-term 3B, and while Hayes' career has been a slight disappointment offensively to this point, he progressed remarkably as the 2023 season went on. Here's to betting on an age-27 breakout. It hurts a bit to give up what is now a consensus top 100 prospect in Thompson due to his feel for contact, home park, and likely multi-position eligibility, but he's still much less of a sure thing for future playing time in my mind than Hayes. The other two prospects are high upside fliers but a long way from MLB impact and certainly fit PIT's timeline better than mine.
