Gave away KeBryan Hayes to the Reds yesterday.

David Bednar to the Yankees today.

All without getting a single MLB bat to support Skenes and the other starters.

Who’s next? My money’s on Mitch Keller for 2 single-A prospects.

frick Bob Nutting and frick Ben Cherington.

Kebryan Hays cant hit. I saw rumors the cubs were after him sk I was excited that for some reason the Reds went and got him.

Nutting/Cherington won’t do that. At least as long as they have Skenes under their control. They have to maintain SOME illusion that they’re at least trying, otherwise PNC will be empty.

But a Gold Glove at 3rd.

And the rest of the lineup can’t hit either. Hence, the need to acquire a MLB bat.

I don't think there's a team out there with the haul it would require to get 4 controlled years of a legit 1A ace.

I wish they would trade Skeens to a contender.

He is wasting his career over there.

Agreed - it's only year 2 though. Let's no act like he's in year 13 over there like Trout

Skenes is worth more than the entire franchise

Paul went to the absolutely worst possible place he could go.

Brutal.

And I was absolutely ecstatic at the time. I took it as a signal that Nutting actually might want to spend some money and try to turn things around.

What a sucker I was.

Are you an actual Pirates fan? Not trolling…one of my best friends is a Pirates fan. I feel bad for him.

Yes.

My Grandfather was from Pittsburgh and a Pirates fan. He instilled in me early on. My fanhood dates back to Clemente/Stargell.

Because he does exactly what Bob Nutting tells him to do.
