Yankees Acquire Kyle Haynes to Complete Chris Stewart Trade

Haynes hasn't pitched above Low-A ball yet in his career.   The right-hander will be 23 at the start of the 2014 season.  He was a 20th round pick in the 2012 draft.

The Pirates converted him from a reliever to a starter late last season.  Compiled a 2.38 ERA in 83.1 innings with a 85/36 K/BB ratio overall.   He is not ranked in any of the Pirates' Top Prospects lists, nor should he be.  He is "just a guy" for now.

This is obviously not a major haul.   But for Chris Stewart, anything above a lawn mower would be considered a decent return.
