Thankfully, we've moved on from the days when win-loss record mattered in Cy Young voting, because if we hadn't evolved from those caveman days, Pittsburgh Pirates star Paul Skenes would surely get robbed.
Pirates fans should also be grateful that, despite their half-measure summer fire sale, Skenes was safe from being moved, even if rival clubs had offered the most lopsided of trade packages. The 23-year-old superstar will reside in Pittsburgh for now, and despite one of the worst owners in baseball, the club should look to keep Skenes around long-term
There are a lot of great pitchers in the game today, but if we were to break them down into tiers, Skenes would be in a class all by himself.
