Skenes is controlled through the 2029 season. So 4 years. Guy was a rookie last year so no idea where you got the 2 year rental nonsense.RamFan08NY wrote: ↑15 Aug 2025 06:17 amWould certainly include JJ. Very expensive package for a 2 year rental.
It amazes me how many ridiculous scenarios people come up with when they have to know Bill is in his ”I can and will take it with me” mode. Right now he is bargaining with Ol’ Scratch on the terms of the deal. Keep it up, folks. It is a source of amusement for people who are paying attention. Bill trades for Skenes? Ha, ha. A very likely scenario given all the salary Bill’s trying to get rid of.rockondlouie wrote: ↑15 Aug 2025 08:49 am The Dodgers already have his jersey printed up when the Pirates trade him in a couple years.
The Cardinals, who are OFFENSIVELY challenged, can't afford to trade JJW for pitching.
And who in their right mind thinks BDWJr would pony up $500+M to keep Skenes?
ZERO chance

Let's see if he will be satisfied on his rookie deal until 2029. He'll either get a huge deal or demand a trade. No way that the best pitcher in the game remains on rookie deal for 3 more years.WaltsSuccessor wrote: ↑15 Aug 2025 08:33 amSkenes is controlled through the 2029 season. So 4 years.

This isn't the NFL. There is no such thing as a rookie deal in MLB. He'll be eligible for arbitration after next season which I'm sure he'll start breaking arbitration records each year through 2029.RamFan08NY wrote: ↑15 Aug 2025 09:28 amLet's see if he will be satisfied on his rookie deal until 2029.
