The Pittsburgh Pirates, sitting at the bottom of the National League Central, can find some solace in the fact that they have the most dominant young pitcher in baseball in Paul Skenes.

If there was any glimmer of hope that a team could obtain Skenes's services in a trade, Pirates general manager Ben Cherington put any buzz to bed.
