Do you have photos of Ben Cherington, the Pirates GM, on Epstein island? If so, there is a chance he makes this trade…

this is why nobody respects you or your opinions on anything. And if it was a joke (hopefully it was) you could do better than that
Why don't you give some solid baseball opinions on the OP? Instead of trying to impress the other SAs.
Ok, would the Pirates trade the Rookie of the Year Winner with the best stuff in the game, and the heir apparent as the next top pitcher in the game of baseball for 2 ex first rounders who after multiple years of opportunities have shown that they barely even belong in the major leagues?

How hard do you think the pirates would laugh if the cardinals proposed them that trade?

Answer your own question
Something, some are missing. Skenes will demand some astronomical money in the future. Can the Pirates afford him, long term?

Please try to decipher that I didn't propose this trade. I just threw it out there. Thanks for being a respectful CT poster.

Seriously ? Think about it a little. I presented two questions. Not something like, "the Cardinals should offer Walker and Gorman for Skenes".

the fact you even proposed this as a hypothetical IS THE PROBLEM. It shows your drastic lack of baseball acumen and knowledge. If you threw out a trade that even 1 GM in the history of major league baseball would consider for more than 1.5 seconds sure, maybe make a thread about it. but not 1 GM in the history of the sport would look at this trade and not laugh at you

I'm similar to the previous poster in that i've had some fair back and forth with you about Burleson for example. But this...come on man. i can no longer take you seriously on any post

Of course not. They will trade him in due time to avoid a total loss. Years away.
It may not be that many years, depending on how the Pirates play it. It seems a near certainty he’ll be super 2 arb eligible, meaning his arb years would kick in next year.

I wouldn’t be shocked if they trade him before the ‘28 season.

Whatever. But not too long ago Walker and Gorman were two of the hottest prospects in baseball. And Pittsburgh needs position players. Also, they will not likely be able to keep Skenes. If somebody is open-minded, this may not be as far-fetched as some may think. Considering the long term implications. Check out Quincy Varnish's post.

I did see his post. If they did trade him it would be for a fair package. Your package is like trading Ken Griffey Jr. in his second year (like Skenes) for under performing first round picks in Griffey's second year (1990) Erick Christopherson and Lance Dickson
