The Cincinnati Reds have acquired third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes from the Pittsburgh Pirates in advance of Thursday's Major League Baseball trade deadline, the teams announced Wednesday. In return the Pirates will receive lefty reliever Taylor Rogers and shortstop prospect Sammy Stafura and cash.

ESPN is predicting that the Cincinnati Reds will make a major splash at the deadline. Multiple MLB writers have acquiring much-needed help before the July 31 trade deadline. They have the Reds completing three pretty big trades, though the likelihood of one is low and another has no mention of what it would cost the Reds.
