Why not Skenes?

... The Pirates won't be able to afford him once
Skenes becomes a "free" agent... So, they still got him
for three more years - so the time is NOW to try to Win.

And the lads are off to a Great start! ...

Electric! When that kid hit his double on his first at bat the place went nuts. Haven’t seen this type of Pirate excitement in 15 years.
Amazing at what an honest effort by the owner can do for optimism. Although the cynic in me thinks the league pressured Nutting to stop putting luxury tax dollars into his fat wallet.
