Paul Skenes is electric. He’s a superstar. And no, the Pittsburgh Pirates should not even entertain the idea of trading him — no matter what the national media says. On this episode of Bucco Brew, we break down why Skenes is already changing the trajectory of the franchise and why all these “should the Pirates trade him?” takes are absolutely insane.

We also dive into Ben Cherington’s growing scrutiny as the Pirates continue to underperform, give an update on Jared Jones’ injury status, and talk prospects with Anthony Murphy — including who could be next to get the call. Plus, we preview the upcoming Reds series and what needs to change fast.
