Baseball fans and pundits alike have spent recent months demanding the lowly Pirates trade Skenes, who they feel is wasting his time in Pittsburgh. According to Cofidy Baseball, Skenes is the first full-time starting pitcher in MLB history to have a sub-1.80 ERA and fewer than five victories across a 15-game stretch.

Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes is no stranger to impressive accomplishments. On Friday, he made the wrong kind of history with his start against the Chicago Cubs ( box score ).

Pittsburgh Pirates ace pitcher Paul Skenes reportedly will generate trade offers before this season's deadline whether the team likes it or not.
