Report: Paul Skenes' teammate Ke'Bryan Hayes emerges as surprise Yankees option if Eugenio Suarez trade fails
Report: Paul Skenes' teammate Ke'Bryan Hayes emerges as surprise Yankees option if Eugenio Suarez trade fails (Image via Getty) Ke'Bryan Hayes, third baseman for the Pittsburgh Pirates and teammate of star pitcher Paul Skenes, is suddenly in the spotlight. With the MLB trade deadline set for July 30, 2025, the New York Yankees are looking for help at third base. Their top choice is Eugenio Suarez from the Arizona Diamondbacks. But things aren't certain, and now Hayes has become a strong backup plan. A trusted MLB insider has shared why Hayes could soon land in New York if the Yankees can't strike a deal with Arizona. Paul Skenes' teammate Ke'Bryan Hayes could fill Yankees defensive needs at third base The New York Yankees are running tight. Second in the AL East, they have to have assistance if they hope to claim the division. Fans are eager to see which player the team might add as the MLB trade deadline approaches on July 30, 2025. Third baseman Eugenio Suarez for the Arizona Diamondbacks is one name drawing notice. Ke'Bryan Hayes, third baseman for the Pittsburgh Pirates, however, has emerged as a backup option now. MLB insider Joel Sherman shared this news on Friday, July 18, during his show 'The Show' on YES Network. He said the Yankees want Suarez, but they also like Hayes in case the deal doesn't happen. 'I think they should do what they can to try to get Eugenio Suarez,' Sherman said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo 'But Ke'Bryan Hayes fits them so well. He's one of the best defensive third basemen. You put him in New York and he gets even better.' Ke'Bryan Hayes could be key for Yankees' third base needs Joel Sherman explained why Ke'Bryan Hayes is a good option. He said Hayes reminds him of former Yankee Scott Brosius, known for his defence. Hayes plays great defence and can hit well enough to help the team. 'If Hayes moved out of Pittsburgh,' Sherman said, 'you'd get more out of him. Just let him hit around .240 and play top-level defence. That's what the Yankees need.'

That makes Hayes easier to get if talks with the Diamondbacks don't work out. On the other hand, Eugenio Suárez is seen as a better hitter. So far this season, Suárez has hit 31 home runs and has 78 RBIs, which is a lot better than Yankees current third baseman Oswald Peraza, who is strong on defence but struggling at bat. That's why the Yankees are still pushing hard to get Suárez. But if that trade doesn't happen, Hayes is a solid backup. He may not hit as much, but he's excellent on defence, and the Yankees need both right now. With just days left until the MLB trade deadline on July 30, fans will be watching closely to see who ends up wearing pinstripes in the Bronx.

Deaf and hard of hearing students bond through beach games in annual event
Olivia Eassie is one of just two students who are deaf or hard of hearing at Spectrum Community School in Saanich, B.C., but she says she's never been self-conscious about it. That's in large part thanks to the sense of community and empowerment she gets from local events, like the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Beach Day, which was held on Wednesday at Cadboro-Gyro Park in Saanich, a municipality in the Greater Victoria area. "My mom's even told me, don't be insecure about it — and I've told her: 'I'm not, I honestly never have been.' I mean, this makes me feel comfortable that I'm deaf when I'm here," Eassie said, looking around at a group of students playing tug-of-war. The beach day, which welcomed 85 deaf and hard of hearing students from across Southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, along with teachers and parents, is an annual event hosted by the Greater Victoria School District. For more than 30 years, it's brought students from kindergarten to Grade 12 together with games and ice cream, in the hopes of them building friendships and support networks, said Megan Jantz, a teacher for the deaf and hard of hearing in the district. At a time when teachers and parents across the province are calling for B.C. to send financial relief to school districts they say are facing increased funding pressures — and limited resources to meet the needs of students with disabilities — it's a welcome moment of celebration. "That's kind of our aim, to have fun, make connections, and for the kids to meet other kids like themselves — because typically they're [one of] like one or two only in a whole school," said Jantz. "They've said they just feel less alone and can be more their true self in environments and situations like this." In addition, the event helps students learn how others have overcome everyday challenges or advocated for themselves, she said. Beach games This year, students did carnival activities, undertook a braille scavenger hunt, chased down "Waldo" — which was Jantz, dressed in a candy-cane striped shirt and a pom-pom winter hat – and competed in an Amazing Race-style competition. The day ended with the three winners of the Amazing Race heaving a trophy over their heads during an awards ceremony, as onlookers raised their open palms, twisting their wrists — a raucous applause in American Sign Language. There were also local disability agencies on hand to let students and their families know about resources. Grade 11 student Eassie has been attending the beach day since she was in elementary school and met one of her closest friends, another girl with hearing loss, at the event years ago. Now, Eassie volunteers at the beach day. Eassie said seeing the faces of younger students light up while playing games or chatting lifts her own spirits. "You don't see a lot of other kids with cochlears, or having the same sort of experience that you had, but this place does that for you," said Eassie, who wears two cochlear implants tucked between her ears and braided hair. Funding concerns weigh on educators Earlier this week, educators and parents raised concerns about funding for disability services and other programs in schools. On Monday, a group of parents across the province rallied at the B.C. Legislature, calling for more funding for public education as numerous districts face budget shortfalls and the threat of looming cuts. Carolyn Howe, president of the Greater Victoria Teachers' Association, said only 70 per cent of the cost for running services for students with disabilities is covered by the province — which can lead to other school programs like music education being cut back. A survey released by the B.C. Teachers' Federation in its 2023-24 report found only 13 per cent of the province's teachers felt the needs of students with disabilities or diverse needs were being completely met. The annual Deaf and Hard of Hearing Beach Day is possible due to partial provincial funding, Jantz said. Although the funding is not currently under threat, she said the school district has limited resources. She is one of just three deaf and hard of hearing teachers providing in-school advocacy and support across the Greater Victoria School District, which she says leaves them "spread quite thin." Accessibility tools — like classroom assisted listening devices and interpreters — also come at a cost. "Funding is definitely hard, but we put a tiny bit of our budget to this [event] because we know the importance and value of this." Events like the beach day show the importance of pushing for these services, both in the classroom and out, she said. "I actually have graduated students who are in university and college asking me when they can come and volunteer because they see the value of the friendships that they've made here, the connections that they've made … just to see that they're not alone is huge," she said.

Couple visiting Florida drowns near Destin resort; son rescued by beachgoer
DESTIN, Fla. – A couple drowned in the Gulf of America while visiting a Florida resort, despite the heroic efforts of a bystander who rescued their son. The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) identified the victims on Wednesday as a 57-year-old husband and 54-year-old wife, both residents of Buford, Georgia. Their names have not been released. According to witnesses, deputies said the couple and their 26-year-old son were seen struggling approximately 75 to 100 yards offshore of U.S. Highway 98 in Destin. Florida Rip Current Nearly Drowns 3 Kids During T-ball Team's Beach Day: 'Help Me! Help Me!' A quick-thinking bystander, utilizing a borrowed boogie board, entered the water in an attempt to rescue the family, authorities said. His decisive actions are credited with saving the life of the couple's son, as he successfully brought the young man to shore. "Beach safety personnel pulled the mother out of the water while Destin Beach Safety and an OCSO Marine Unit located the father," deputies said. "Intense and extensive lifesaving measures were performed on both but were unsuccessful." Deputies said yellow flags were flying on the beach at the time of the incident, indicating moderate surf and/or currents. How To Survive Rip Currents At least seven lives have been lost in Florida alone this year due to rip currents, high surf or sneaker waves. Nationally, the number of surf zone deaths has reached 26 so far in 2025, according to data from the National Weather Service. Rip currents are the number one weather-related killer in Florida. In 2023, more than 30 people were reported to have died after encountering rip currents along the Sunshine State, with more than half in the Panhandle. These hidden threats form when waves break near the shoreline, causing water to pile up and create a narrow, fast-flowing stream that swiftly carries swimmers away from shore, catching them off guard. Florida's Biggest Weather-related Killer Lurks Along Beaches The National Weather Service always advises beachgoers to swim near lifeguards and remain alert to ocean conditions. If caught in a rip current, it is advised not to swim against the outgoing force of water. Instead, swim parallel to the shoreline until out of the current, then head safely back towards article source: Couple visiting Florida drowns near Destin resort; son rescued by beachgoer

Watch: Florida officers save 2 from drowning in rip current at national park
TITUSVILLE, Fla. – Graphic police bodycam footage captures the moment when two officers with National Park Service law enforcement rescued two individuals from drowning at Canaveral National Seashore. The incident occurred on April 27, when the two officers received a 911 call about a 17-year-old boy drowning in the ocean, according to the NPS. While on their way to assist, the officers were notified of a second drowning victim at the same location, as someone had swum out to try to rescue the teenager. The NPS said the officers arrived at the scene in less than two minutes.

One of the deputies then began performing CPR on him by the water. After about two minutes of CPR, the 17-year-old began to breathe on his own, according to officials. The officers also treated the second drowning victim, who, along with the teenager, was treated for about 20 minutes before paramedics arrived.
