It appears to be a foregone conclusion that sooner or later over the following 4 or 5 years the Pittsburgh Pirates are going to should commerce beginning pitcher Paul Skenes when he begins to cost himself out of their funds. It is most likely not a matter of if it occurs, however most likely a matter of when it occurs.
Such is life as a small market group with a Scrooge McDuck kind of proprietor that does not actually care to spend cash.
As inevitable as that dialogue feels, Pirates followers have been most likely anticipating it to occur nearer to Skenes’ pending free company, and never in his second season within the huge leagues.
However there may be no less than some excellent news on the entrance: Basic supervisor Ben Cherington stated on Thursday that buying and selling Skenes this season will not be going to be a part of the dialogue.
