PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates are building around third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes.
A person with knowledge of the agreement tells The Associated Press the Pirates and Hayes have come to terms on a new eight-year, $70 million deal with the 25-year-old Hayes pending a physical.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because a formal announcement isn't expected until the team's home opener on April 12.
Hayes entered the 2022 season hitting .280 in 120 career games.
