According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, Detroit is among the teams expressing interest in Pirates third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes. The Cubs and Yankees, both in the thick of postseason races, are also reportedly involved, setting up a possible bidding war with teams that can sell themselves as win-now destinations.

The New York Yankees are "starting to make calls" as the team searches for a third baseman prior to the July 31 trade deadline, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
