Yankees Acquire Kyle Haynes To Complete Chris Stewart Trade

By Steve Adams | December 11, 2013 at 10:30am CDT

The Yankees have acquired right-hander Kyle Haynes from the Pirates to complete the Chris Stewart trade, tweets Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Haynes, 22, spent last season in Class-A where he posted a 2.38 ERA with 9.2 K/9 and 3.9 BB/9 in 83 1/3 innings of work. He began the season as a reliever but switched to the rotation for his final eight appearances and posted an impressive 1.93 ERA with 39 strikeouts and 18 walks in 42 innings. Though his numbers are solid, Haynes didn't crack Baseball America's list of Top 30 Pirates prospects or MLB.com's Top 20 Pirates prospects list.

    Not a terrible return for Stewie. Hopefully he’ll develop nicely with all of the other low level prospects and make contributions by 2016.

    Something for nothing. Stewart would have been released anyways with McCann, Frankie and Romine.

    Kyle Haynes could go 0-30 with a 9.00 ERA for the Yankees and i’d still love him for being the guy who took Chris Stewart away.

      Stewart is a defensive backup. Hopefully, that is all he’ll be used as by us. And, I want to thank the Yankees again for Russell Martin.

    Seems like a decent enough get for the Yankees for a player that had no roster spot or position for the Yankees in 2014. Obviously has has a long and difficult road to travel before anyone can say he’s major league ready. If they ever say that, but that’s the nature of being a “prospect”.

      Hopefully he pans out as the Yankees really need to shore up their farm. Not in love with the BB/9 but that can be worked on.

    The pirates prospects site (which is awesome) had a good writeup on him. Essentially they traded kontos for him and got a player who could be kontos in a few years.

      a very illogical way to look at it, as they also got 2 years of chris stewart, and although he’s obviously not liked person that the yankees had, he still made contributions to the team and filled a roll that otherwise would have been filled by Romine, who was also injured for part of the year

      You know, Phillips for Gardiner straight up does make some sense. Not sure the Yankees need to add a sweetner at all.

        Philips for Gardner straight up makes no sense for the yankees unless the Reds eat a fat chunk of that contract, Philips is not worth the money at all and has no real impressive qualities at this point besides power.

    About 10 years ago the Bucs dealt the guy formerly known as Leo Nunez for the final few weeks of Benito Santiago. This has a similar smell. I don’t get this for the Pirates. Just let Sanchez be the backup C for a year or bring back McKenry.

      Unfortunately, Sanchez is better served getting ABs at AAA in preparation to taking over in 2015.

      Kyle Haynes is a second tier relief prospect, who, as referenced above, is a Fly ball pitcher. If he becomes another Leo Nunez, a lot of baseball people will be shocked.

      Haines is org filler, or at least he was in the Bucco org. 22 yr old reliever in AA? Not impressed…he was put into the rotation ONLY because others got promoted.

    Stewart was unneeded anyways. Yankees have 5 catchers still on the 40 man roster, wouldn’t be surprised if Romine still moved.

    A living, breathing, human body in exchange for Chris Stewart. Potential GM of the Year candidate? I think so.

    Fly-ball pitcher, high walk rate. Decent K rate though, could turn into a solid player. Don’t think Yankee Stadium’s the place for him to thrive though. My guess is he tops out at Triple-A.

      He’s young and has time to figure things out. He just transitioned to a starter. If his numbers are still solid and he’s a fly ball pitcher, we can trade him once he hits Triple-A.

    I’ll take it!

    “Haynes was a reliever heading into the year, sitting in the 93-94 MPH
    range with his fastball, and touching 96 in the past. He’s got good life
    on the pitch, attacking the zone and using a fastball-heavy approach.
    After success in West Virginia during the early part of the season, he
    moved to the rotation where the strong results continued. As a starter,
    Haynes was sitting 90-92 MPH with his fastball. He also mixed in his
    low-80s curveball, but still mostly leaned on the fastball. He doesn’t
    profile as a starter in the majors, but if he can improve his curveball
    he could develop into a strong reliever.”

    According to piratesprospects website, Kyle Haynes typically sits around 91-92 MPH on his fastball and touches 93-94 MPH with regularity. It has been confirmed that he can throw 96 MPH when he needs to.
    Steamer and Oliver aren’t really very kind to him (seeing as he has just over 100 IP at this stage in his professional career) but it should be interesting to see how he develops. He’s 22 right now and stands at 6’2″ and 190 lbs and has a good downhill delivery. He has a big curve and he can change its’ speed.
    If he can get stronger in the starting role and make 93 MPH his new 91 MPH and add another off-speed pitch, he can slot particularly well into the back end of a rotation or long reliever role.
    Sadly, Chris Stewart won’t be able to do anything to add value to an already warm bench.
