Paul Skenes Says the Pirates’ Season Will Be Wasted if Lessons Aren’t Learned
Paul Skenes highlights the need for the Pittsburgh Pirates to improve collectively after a 12-26 start led to managerial changes and another losing season.
- On Friday, Paul Skenes warned the Pittsburgh Pirates' season would be 'a wasted year' if players don't learn and urged urgency to improve within the Pirates locker room for next year.
- A season that began with hope quickly disintegrated, prompting Derek Shelton's firing as Pittsburgh Pirates struggled with one of baseball's worst offenses.
- Despite dominating the game, Paul Skenes, Pittsburgh ace, holds just a 10-10 record entering what will likely be his final start early next week in Cincinnati, while coaches credit his leadership and tough conversations.
- The club remains publicly committed with no extension talks in season, yet Pittsburgh may consider trading pitching to upgrade a woeful offense as it plans for next year.
- Skenes is a heavy favorite to win awards on Nov. 20, poised to join rare company by winning Rookie of the Year and the Cy Young in successive seasons, possibly first with a.500-or-worse record.
