@BuccoBallBlog The return in a Skenes trade will be exactly the same 2 years from now. It makes no sense to trade him before the 2027 offseason.

Think about the ABSOLUTE HAUL the Nats got for Juan Soto

@beith_beith @ThePoniExpress Funny because trading all of them is the only way to open up 4 roster spots for bringing guys up.

@thecrow124 @ThePoniExpress Only thing I agree with is trading Ozuna. Rest is nonsense.

My official Pirates record prediction: 84-78. Now make yours! Go!!!

@PghSportReality @GMBCSuperfan If every pitch he sees is center in and up in the zone, exactly where is he supposed to hit the ball?

@GMBCSuperfan Until he starts hitting balls to right center, he is toast. Mets fault. Bichette should know to sit near the line with a guy that always steps in the bucket

Henry Davis truthers, all 3 of them, feeling good about themselves…

@GMBCSuperfan Yes, yes I am.

@SteelCityBucs30 @ColeIsKing_ Eventually, they will trade him, but his trade value last deadline is no different than it will be at the 2027 deadline, unless he somehow turns into complete ass. His value though will always be higher in the offseason, so look for a trade after the 2027 season.

@ColeIsKing_ If the Pirates are not going to resign him, they’re not going to let him walk. He’ll be traded

FOUR prospects?!? Are the Yankees crazy?!!? That’s an unheard of offer!

@MLB @Rangers He has a new batting stance. Looking good @TheCUTCH22

Andrew McCutchen's first hit as a member of the @Rangers 💪 #OpeningDay

@FoulTerritoryTV @JonHeyman Why would the Pirates listen to their offer, they literally said he was not available in trades. This sint even a story.

The Yankees tried to acquire Paul Skenes at the trade deadline last season, but the Pirates didn't even listen to their offer, per @JonHeyman. The Yankees were prepared to offer four top prospects.

@Mikey5Aces It's game 1 of 162. Relax

Don Kelly seems in over his head. Same crap he was saying over and over last season when Cruz and others were making bonehead plays in the field. Here's a new concept Don, how about pulling Cruz from the game to hold him accountable? I guess that's a new concept for Donnie Ball.

@JMackey_PGH If anyone can it is him.

Brandon Lowe averaging a home run per plate appearance. Not sure if he can sustain it, but pretty darn impressive so far.

@DonChed54 I know a certain kid in AAA that can play a heck of a CF.

Well, Brandon Lowe is looking worth it and then some, so far. Do we think he can play CF?

@MarkMaddenX My prediction since the start of spring was 78-84. This is not a good start

77 wins. A six-game improvement. Is it still hating when it happens? I’m the voice of reason. But you don’t want that lol

@Alden_Gonzalez Why?

I would hate to be the next team that faces Paul Skenes.

@Nguyen_anime3 There is no "requirement" or "qualification" for the position outside of being nominated by the President and confirmed by Congress, soooo

Yeah, a plumber shouldn’t be leading DHS. That’s not elitism, that’s wanting people to meet requirements for a job.

@Buster_ESPN Thanks. Idiot, its the Pirates and they are going to Pirate.

If the Pirates make the playoffs, the narrative starts with that Lowe homer.

@ThePoniExpress That ERA.

My best guess at Paul Skenes 2026 stat line: W-L: 17-9 Ks: 208 ERA: 1.76 CY Young?: Yes MVP Votes: Yes No-hitter: Yes Perfect Game: No Engaged to Livvy Dunne: Yes

@JamesTate121 There is no qualification standard for the position in question.

He is not qualified for the job. Not hard to figure out.

@hisugarfoxx Because

Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 why Adam Driver wasn’t cast as Snape in the new Harry Potter series

@BuccosOfTheWest @JamesLarson47 He finished spring 5 for his last 14 with 3 walks, 2 HR and 4 K's. He made a pretty drafting swing change and those take time to get comfortable with. My hope is he is better this year, I just would want to guess how much.

@JamesLarson47 I have a hard time seeing this jump in his production, especially considering his Spring Struggles. But it’s Opening Day, so I choose to Believe! Give me 20 Hank Spanks this year!

2026 Record: 88-74 My Bold Prediction: Triolo .275 AVG, 15 HRs

@BuccosOfTheWest If his bat speed increase from last season is legit, that is within the realm of possibilities.
