Pirates Rule Out Paul Skenes Blockbuster Trade

News summary

Despite earlier speculation and proposed blockbuster trades, the Pittsburgh Pirates have confirmed through multiple sources, including ESPN's Jeff Passan, that they will not trade ace Paul Skenes before the trade deadline. The Pirates view Skenes as a franchise cornerstone and are dedicated to building their future around him, given his elite performance and team control through 2029. While teams like the Dodgers, Mets, and Tigers could theoretically offer significant packages, insiders now agree a trade is highly unlikely. Skenes has continued to excel, earning consecutive All-Star selections, but Pittsburgh's lack of offense has limited team success. The Pirates' stance signals a shift toward competing rather than rebuilding, though they may still trade other players. For now, Skenes will remain with the Pirates.
