Pirates acquired INF Sammy Stafura, LHP Taylor Rogers and cash considerations from the Reds for 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes.
Stafura is the proverbial lottery ticket in the Hayes trade as he’s yet to make it above Low-A after being selected in the second round of the 2023 MLB Draft. He’s still only 20 years old and has had a nice year at the dish, slashing .262/.393/.411 with four homers and 28 steals in 88 games for Low-A Dayton.
