Pirates fans laughing at latest Yankees trade rumor that would never happen

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones has come up in quite a few trade rumors leading up to Thursday's deadline at 6 p.m. ET. But the Yankees remain resolute that they will not be trading him under any circumstances – with one exception.

The only potential trade partner the Yankees would consider for Jones – their No. 4 prospect according to MLB Pipeline – is none other than the Pittsburgh Pirates. Yes, you read that correctly.

Per a report from Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Yankees will only consider trading Jones if the return nets them Pirates ace Paul Skenes .
