How about this:
Paul Skenes. 4 year $140 million extension.
Who says no?
English
@WaymooMoody @deafyinzer Genuinely can't tell if you're dumb or trolling
English
Big mistake with Griffin. Cruz and Skenes have to be livid.
English
@seanhbytes @JonathanwHooke @ThePoniExpress Then that would be called an 8 year extension. The Pirates didn’t just sign KG for 9 years beyond his rookie contract yet it is called a “9 year extension”. I get that maybe it’s not intuitive but Poni should know this.
English
@JonathanwHooke @ThePoniExpress I think Poni is suggesting extending him 4 years beyond 2029. Skenes' agent would laugh at that.
English
@JonathanwHooke @ThePoniExpress Exactly. How are media members that are paid to know and talk about sports so clueless?
English
@ThePoniExpress The Pirates say no.
Hes under contract after this season for 3 more years.
His three arb years will be like 10, 20, and 40. So you're buying out one year of FA for $70 million dollars?
No thank you. That's a horrible deal for the Pirates.

Let’s see how they do together.
Hey, did Griffin sign yet?
𝐍𝐒𝟗@NorthShoreNine
It's Maddening how quickly these two are playing on the same team together. Tonight, you can Mark down April 7th as the date they actually take the field as teammates.
English
People, the Pirates think Griffin has tremendous potential, but they want to see consistency before they shell out big money. Don’t forget, it’s a business.
English
@aaronDmanDonald @MarkMaddenX The trade deadline is 3.5 months away. Let’s not do this yet.
English
@MarkMaddenX Have the pirates suprised you at all this year? It’s obviously so early but with a rotation like theirs do you think they could potentially make a run for the playoffs provided the bats stay hot and people stay healthy for the most part. Would you do anything at the deadline?
English
@ryanpropz Hot take. I don’t think there’s a very large gap in talent between Hunter Greene and Bubba Chandler. Am I doing this right?
English
Hot take. I don’t think there’s a very large gap in talent between Burns and Skenes.

Chase Burns this season: 11 IP 6 H 0.82 ERA 0.91 WHIP 4 BB | 16 K The 23-year-old is looking like an ACE to start the year 👀
English
Not the most dominant-looking box score but Braxton Ashcraft was unbelievable today. Stuff is really good and execution was top notch, and against a real lineup too. He put on a clinic
English
@SteelCityBucs30 Apparently he didn’t like being called out on his ignorance in that post. Badge of honor.
English
Completely hallucinated btw
David Todd@DTonPirates
Credit to the #Pirates all around, but it seems clear they didn’t fully understand the PPI situation & we’re ready to announce the signing today & probably have the signing ceremony tomorrow morning. Fortunately somebody figured it out so they could remain draft pick compensation-eligible. Small thing, but appears a bit sloppy.
English
@DTonPirates There is literally no chance that an entire mlb front office doesn’t know how PPI picks work and was close to making that kind error. To suggest as much based on a single tweet by a national sportswriter is an insufferable level of ignorance.
English
@b_dutton12 I’m not trying to ascertain WHY he tweeted something. I commented on WHAT he tweeted. And I don’t appreciate “insufferable.” If you don’t like my commentary, don’t follow. No need to be a jerk.

@DTonPirates You don’t think there’s another, infinitely more likely, explanation for said baseball writer’s tweet?

Griffin Giveaway: If Konnor Griffin gets 2 hits and Buccos win the home opener. I’m giving away 5 brand new Konnor Griffin jerseys. All you gotta do is 1) follow me. And 2) retweet this post. Good luck. LETS GO BUCS!
English
@M1ngoG @DTonPirates Great point. We know this because their farm system sucks, right?
English
@ephrim_k In 2026? Maybe. Over the duration of their careers? Absolutely not.
English
I’ve said it before but I’m saying it again for the record.
Kevin McGonigle will be a significantly better player than Konnor Griffin
English
@Jram2TBJ Do you understand the difference between team sales and the secondary market? Serious question.
English
What would a longer term contract look like IF #Pirates wanted to sign 19-year old Konnor Griffin right now before he ever took a major league at bat?
We have seen this before with #Brewers Jackson Chourio (8-year 82 Million) Roman Anthony #RedSox (8-years 130 Million)
What would it look like?
Or do you wait despite the risk?
