Chicago Cubs Are "Potential Suitors" For Pittsburgh Pirates 3B Ke'Bryan Hayes

Independent reporter, Francys Romero, is citing "industry sources" saying that the Chicago Cubs are "potential suitors" for Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes.

Hayes, 28, is controllable through 2030 on an extremely team friendly deal that has him averaging less than $9 million per season.

A former top 100 prospect across all of baseball, Hayes' bat hasn't really lived up to the hype, though he is one of the best defensive third basemen in all of baseball.

Hayes has always been a below average hitter, though this season he is slashing .236/.290/.290 with just two home runs and nine stolen bases. The lack of production puts him an abysmal 38% worse than the average player (62 wRC+).

Even with his glove and contract, would you like to see the Cubs pursue Hayes?
