Pirates Facing Paul Skenes Decision After All-Star Break originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Right-handed starting pitcher Paul Skenes is currently in his second season in MLB with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 23-year-old superstar was selected first overall in the 2023 MLB Draft and made his big-league debut in 2024.

An unnamed MLB team reached out to the Pittsburgh Pirates about trading for superstar starting pitcher Paul Skenes, but that overture was rejected, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

The Pittsburgh Pirates’ miserable weekend ended with a 7-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, which capped off a series sweep. Andrew Heaney was knocked around for seven runs in four innings, and the offense once again couldn’t muster much of anything.
