Can we just skip the drama and fit Paul Skenes for a Dodgers, Yankees, Mets, Phillies, Cubs, Giants etc. uniform?

He said he has no interest in leaving the Oirstes and the Pirates have said he’s not bringing traded.

As soon as gambling became legalized, things have gone sideways.

Gee, who saw that coming................

I hope he strays a Pirate even if that means he doesn’t become a Giant.

Unlike Skubal he’s not a free agent until 2030 so he’s not going anywhere until 2029, plus Boras is not his agent. If the Pirates want a hope of keeping him, they better build a team around him.

Pirates and building a team should never be used in the same sentence.

It's a fun idea though, but not happening.

Baseball is the one sport of the haves (Yankees/Mets/Phillies/Dodgers) and the have nots (everyone else).

Pirates used to have one of the best farm league systems in the game, but that was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Today's MLB has changed, small market teams will win once every blue moon. Large caps take all.

You know what is ironic, think about today's salary and then think back - Pirates Dave Parker was the first $1M man and paid by the Pirates!

George:

Your post truly sums up the state of MLB.

Like you said a few years ago, those small market teams that have made the playoffs in the past 20 years make great stories but none of them are going to win it all.
