Hayes signed an eight-year, $70 million contract extension with the Pirates on Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Hayes showed promise with the Pirates while appearing in 96 major-league games last year, hitting .257 with six homers, 49 runs, 38 RBI and nine steals. He's a key player for the rebuilding Pittsburgh club and will be rewarded with a long-term deal that includes a team option for a ninth season. The 25-year-old dealt with a minor ankle sprain late in camp but is healthy to begin the 2022 campaign.
