Pittsburgh Pirates fans are tired. Paul Skenes is under team control through 2029, and Ben Cherington has said (repeatedly) that he's not on the trade block. Still, the trade proposals won't stop coming.
And now we’re supposed to pretend that the latest trade fantasy floating around — courtesy of Bleacher Report — is somehow a reasonable conversation starter for moving the single most electric pitcher this franchise has produced in decades.
The proposal? A bundle of Los Angeles Dodgers parts — Emmet Sheehan, Andy Pages, Dalton Rushing, Josue De Paula and Alex Freeland — sent to Pittsburgh in exchange for Skenes.
