As trade rumors swirl around the Pittsburgh Pirates superstar, Paul Skenes seems unconvinced a trade is coming anytime soon.

With the Pittsburgh Pirates struggling again—sitting near the bottom of the standings—some analysts and fans have floated the idea of dealing Skenes for a massive haul of prospects. After all, he’s under team control through 2030 and won’t hit arbitration until 2027. On paper, that could be a dream return.

There has been rampant speculation that the spiraling Pirates might be better off trading the best young pitcher in MLB for a haul of prospects to boost their offense.
