PITTSBURGH (AP) – The arrival of rookie third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes gives the Pittsburgh Pirates something to build on heading into 2021. The Pirates finished with the worst record in the majors during the truncated 2020 season, but Hayes looked like a cornerstone going forward after hitting .376 in 24 games. Hayes was named the National League Rookie-of-the-Month for September. The starting rotation should get a boost next year with the return of Jameson Taillon from Tommy John surgery. There are bigger questions surrounding the bullpen and the future of right fielder Gregory Polanco. Polanco, who hit just .153 in 50 games, is scheduled to make $11.6 million next season.
