The Pittsburgh Pirates are headed toward being sellers at the trade deadline. Could they ever consider trading Paul Skenes well before he hits free agency?

Few players in baseball have risen to superstardom faster than Pittsburgh Pirates Pitcher Paul Skenes. The former first overall pick almost completely bypassed the minor leagues en route to winning Rookie of the Year and being a contender for the Cy Young award.

But regardless if Ryan is traded, the Pirates will also inquire about higher ranking prospects as well as major leaguers. This would include Hyeseong Kim and recently promoted No. 1 prospect Dalton Rushing. No. 2 and 3 prospects Josue De Paula and Zyhir Hope are also worth watching though their debuts are not imminent.
