Ah, I don’t think so.

Interesting thing I heard last night was the idea that whoever drafts Skenes may shut him down for the year. I think that could be a good idea.

Although if Pittsburgh drafts him and finds themselves still in the playoff hunt come August/September it’d be hard for them to ignore the possibilities with him in the rotation.
