The Pirates currently hold a disappointing 22-37 record, marking them as contenders for being sellers in the upcoming trade deadline. Reports suggest while they are rejecting offers for star pitcher Paul Skenes due to his significant potential and control, they are open to trading other players on their roster. This strategy could enhance their future prospects, especially given the injuries and minor league statuses of other sought-after players. However, they will only consider trades that provide substantial returns, especially for their emerging talents like Keller and Falter.
Skenes and Cruz are both exciting young players with superstar potential and plenty of team control remaining: Cruz is controlled for three seasons after this one, while Skenes is controlled for four.
The Pirates have plenty of other assets that are both intriguing and under longer-term control that they would surely be hesitant to part with for anything less than an impressive return.
