Yankees linked to an elite third baseman who is available
Yankees linked to an elite third baseman who is available originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After getting whooped by the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, the message to the New York Yankees' front office was clear: they need to do something. GM Brian Cashman is reportedly busy looking for a starter and a right-handed bat, if it comes as a third baseman that would be ideal. Advertisement Sunday, USA Today's Bob Nightengale dropped an interesting nugget in his column that brings back the comments of a Yankees insider from this offseason. He reports that the Pittsburgh Pirates are listening to offers for third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes. While Hayes does not have the right-handed power numbers the Yankees are looking for, this could be an opportunity move. Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes takes a swing against the Diamondbacks in Phoenix on May 28, 2025. At 28, Hayes is best known for his defense. In 2023, he ended Nolan Arenado's Gold Glove streak, taking home the award himself. His glove is elite. This year, he leads all MLB third basemen with six Outs Above Average (OAA), a Statcast metric that measures range and playmaking. Over the past four seasons, he's racked up 72 Defensive Runs Saved, topping the position. That's impact defense. Advertisement Offensively, it's been a different story. Hayes is hitting .223 with a .560 OPS in 2025, a clear dip from his career norms. That's a concern, but it's one the Yankees might be willing to overlook given their lineup depth and their ongoing struggle to settle on a reliable third baseman. The Pirates might be happy to shed Hayes' salary as the rebuild and not ask for a ton in prospects in return. YES Network's Michael Kay has been vocal about this. Earlier this year, he suggested the Yankees should make a move for Hayes, citing conversations with Hayes' father, former Yankees infielder Charlie, who isn't thrilled with how Pittsburgh has handled his son's offensive development. Maybe a change of scenery and voices would benefit Hayes' offense. The Yankees have had some success with the sons of their former players this season, with Cody Bellinger's resurgence. Advertisement Hayes is signed through 2030 on a team-friendly deal, another plus for New York, which always wants to balance cost and talent. With Pittsburgh rebuilding and the Yankees needing stability at third, this could be a long-term win-win trade. Hayes brings top-tier defense and a manageable contract. If New York can unlock more offense from him, they get a solid upgrade on the hot corner.

Paul Skenes dominates in Pirates' win over Diamondbacks
Paul Skenes dominated in six-plus scoreless innings, O'Neil Cruz hit a two-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates rolled over the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-1 on Wednesday. The Pirates rallied from down 6-2 with seven runs in the eighth inning to beat the Diamondbacks 9-6 on Tuesday night. There was no need for a comeback with Skenes (4-5) on the mound. Last year's NL rookie of the year allowed four hits, struck out seven and walked none in 6 2/3 innings. Skenes has not allowed more than six hits in an MLB-record 35 starts to open his career. Pittsburgh took two of three from Arizona for its first road series win and second overall since April 22-24 against the Los Angeles Angels. Arizona's Zac Gallen (3-7) allowed six runs — five earned — on six hits with three strikeouts and three walks in five innings. Gallen walked the leadoff batter three times and all three scored. Arizona has lost seven of eight. Henry Davis hit a run-scoring single in the second inning after a leadoff walk and Pittsburgh scored two runs in the fifth on second baseman Jordan Lawler's throwing error following a leadoff walk. Gallen issued another leadoff walk in the sixth inning and was pulled after Ke'Bryan Hayes' run-scoring single. Isiah Kiner-Falefa hit a two-run double off Juan Morillo and Bryan Reynolds made it 8-0 with a run-scoring triple. Kiner-Falefa broke the game open with his double in the sixth. Pittsburgh scored 19 straight runs against Arizona in two games before pinch hitter Tim Tawa's leadoff homer in the ninth. Pirates RHP Mitch Keller (1-6, 3.66 ERA) pitches the opener of a three-game series at San Diego on Friday. The Diamondbacks have not announced a starter for Friday's opener of a three-game home series against Washington.
