In fact, the two franchises have recently agreed on transactions, including David Bednar this year.<\/p>\n<p>Should Skenes become available, the Yankees have already begun laying the groundwork for a trade, stating loud and clear that they would be willing to part with their top prospects to get their hands on the Cy Young Trophy voting favorite.<\/p>\n<p>A player of Skenes&#8217; calibre doesn&#8217;t usually become available at such a young age, but in Pittsburgh, you can expect anything.<\/p>\n<p>And the speculation will continue this winter, right up until the 23-year-old officially puts down the markers.<\/p>\n<p>This content was created with the help of AI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paul Skenes probably won\u2019t end his career in Pittsburgh.
