Pirates' Cherington shuts down Skenes trade talk
Briefly

The Pittsburgh Pirates are struggling, currently in last place and with a firing of their manager. General Manager Ben Cherington firmly stated that trading ace Paul Skenes is not an option, despite the team's significant struggles this season. The Pirates’ offense is performing poorly, consistently scoring four runs or fewer, and they have lost ground in playoff contention. Skenes, under team control for several years, remains a strong asset as the team looks to rebuild after disappointing seasons and the managerial change.
"No, it's not part of the conversation at all," Cherington said flatly.
Pittsburgh has been stuck in reverse from opening day, even when Skenes starts.
