Ben Cherington Silences Paul Skenes Trade Rumors: 'Not Part of the Conversation'
With the Pittsburgh Pirates continuing to dive into a downward spiral, rumors have surrounded superstar pitcher and reigning National League Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes as he embarks on yet another strong season. Baseball fans have salivated at the possibility of Skenes going to a contender and playing an ace-level role on a playoff team. Advertisement One National League executive, in a report by Mark Feinsand, said that a Skenes trade would "likely be as significant a trade return as we've ever seen." In a press briefing, however, Ben Cherington, the general manager of the Pirates, poured cold water on any rumors around their ace. Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Paul Skenes (30) throws a pitch against the Philadelphia Phillies in the third inning at Citizens Bank Ross - Imagn Images "No. It's not at all part of the conversation," Cherington said, per Alex Stumpf, who reports on the Pirates. Any rumors around Skenes, who has six controllable seasons ahead of him, seemed to always be a pipe dream. Even despite any concrete evidence of any trade talks, Bleacher Report simulated trades for Skenes this year. Advertisement A trade to the beleaguered Baltimore Orioles revolved around Grayson Rodriguez, and a trade to the Boston Red Sox centered around No. 1 overall prospect Roman Anthony. Despite the possibility that a Skenes trade could significantly bolster the Pirates' roster without necessarily beefing up their already emaciated payroll, the Pirates are clearly holding firm. The Pirates seem to be playing a game where they refuse to surround Skenes with a competitive roster, but won't pony up the money to extend him, in what has to be one of the most frustrating strategies in recent history. One can only feel bad for Pirates fans.

Pirates Manager Gets 'Serious' Attention Amid Paul Skenes Speculation
Pirates Manager Gets 'Serious' Attention Amid Paul Skenes Speculation originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Pirates fired manager Derek Shelton on May 8 after a 12-26 start to the season, and replaced Shelton with bench coach Don Kelly, who became the interim head coach. Advertisement Amid growing frustration around baseball with the Pirates' lack of competitiveness with Paul Skenes in tow, the move to fire Shelton signaled urgency to start trying to win more ballgames. Skenes' 4-6 record despite his 1.88 ERA and 0.84 WHIP is just bad for baseball, and complaints over his stats seem to be redundant at this point. However, Kelly is quietly earning praise for his handling of a tough situation. Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Paul Skenes (30) delivers a pitch to Chicago Cubs designated hitter Seiya Suzuki (27) during the first inning at PNC LeClaire-Imagn Images Since Kelly took over, the Pirates are 15-14, but they have fallen to 13.5 games out of first place, down from 10 on May 8. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette noted Kelly's local roots as a Mount Lebanon native who found his way to the big leagues after playing infield for nearby Point Park University. Jon Heyman, insider for MLB Network, even went as far as to say that Kelly has already earned an extension. Advertisement The Gazette's Jason Mackey asserted that Kelly's ejection on May 10 was a suggestion from legendary manager Jim Leyland as a means of earning respect. Leyland, who coached the Pirates from 1986-1996, was inducted into the Pirates Hall of Fame in 2024. Mackey, along with ESPN insider Jeff Passan, have praised the job Kelly has done at stabilizing the trajectory of the Pirates' season. Even if the idea of a playoff bid feels laughable, the new skipper has commanded the respect of the city and seems to enjoy this newfound attention.
