Any team would go to all lengths to keep a once-in-a-lifetime pitcher like Paul Skenes. The post MLB Insider Drops Definitive Pirates Paul Skenes Trade Update, Citing Key Factor in Bob Nutting’s Decision appeared first on EssentiallySports.

With the team's extreme struggles, the Pirates could be expected to become sellers at this year's trade deadline. Bleacher Report 's Tim Kelly is predicting Tommy Pham, Dennis Santana, Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Joey Bart are Pirates players he can see the team moving this summer. Skenes, for him, is not.

It may seem unthinkable to trade arguably the best pitcher in baseball who is just 22 years old, hasn't even hit arbitration and has four-plus seasons of team control remaining on his contract, but the Pittsburgh Pirates would certainly get a haul if they did decide to move Paul Skenes.
