Maybe they could DFA him and sing, "I left my Bolton in San Francisco."
Lol ;D

Will the Hayes bobble head depict him striking out?

Check this out:

Bolton in 1/3 of an inning has already thrown half as many pitches as DeSclafani has thrown in 7 full innings

Watching Bolton pitch is very painful

In other encouraging news, Endy Rodriguez is 0 for his last 19 and currently hitting .212 at Indy.

And in his most recent start on Saturday, Quinn Priester lasted 1.2 innings giving up 6 walks, 4 hits and 8 runs.

Imagine if Hayes made a similar play at 3B. They'd still be talking about it and what a sensational fielder he is. But they haven't mentioned Marcano's play since that inning. There's an agenda to promote Hayes to us as a franchise player.
And I for one am not buying it!

With the exception of a great first month in the Majors, Hayes has been a bust. He is a very good defensive 3B, but he is no Brooks Robinson. For 2 and 1/3 years he has proven he is a low average no power hitter. The long term contract was a mistake.

They need to trade him for whatever they can get for him. I’m sure Nutting would appreciate the savings.

Let’s see what Malcolm Nunez can do

Thanks Bobster

Can it get any more depressing

I think his contract makes him untradeable unless the Pirates agreed to pay many millions to the team. He's due 7 million for 2024-27, 8 million from 2028-29 and a 6 million buyout in 2030. That's a total of 50 million for a good field/no hit player.
