Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes received a record $3,436,343 from this year's pre-arbitration bonus pool, raising his two-year total to $5,588,400 under the initiative to direct more money to top younger players.
A 23-year-old right-hander who debuted in May 2024, Skenes had an $875,000 salary in the major leagues after earning $564,946 in pay last year. He won't be eligible for salary arbitration until after the 2026 season.

Man, his 2nd contract is going to be insane.

Criminal.
He IS their team

Pirates have 3 more years of him
I imagine they will start getting some unreal offers this year
I think they should do what Kansas City did to Whitt Jr and just offer him 10 for 500 if he signs now. If he says no, you will have to entertain offers.

I expect the Winter Meetings will bring a few crazy offers to them

How much do you think we paid him at LSU?
Posted on 11/25/25 at 1:58 pm to Major Dutch Schaefer
Close to what Nuss made this year.

Pirates have 4 more years of team control

Great to see him be rewarded for all his work and success. At least he is earning it. There should be pain and suffering for being on a bad team and in Pittsburg

Which means only 4-6 teams will be able to afford him.

Can’t wait to see somebody pay that man $500M in 2029. Cheers to some of it coming back to baseball NIL

He and his fiance will finally be able to afford that family house they've always dreamed of

Who do you think is more excited, he or Livvy?

Livvy--she's finally glad Paul's pulling his weight!

How brave of her to support this young man while he was only making hundreds of thousands a year.
Posted on 11/25/25 at 4:13 pm to Major Dutch Schaefer
I was told he would be a flop
