With the trade speculation around Pirates ace Paul Skenes, one MLB executive comes up with a deal that sends the star to the Red Sox.

With the Pittsburgh Pirates continuing to dive into a downward spiral, rumors have surrounded superstar pitcher and reigning National League Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes as he embarks on yet another strong season. Baseball fans have salivated at the possibility of Skenes going to a contender and playing an ace-level role on a playoff team.

It may seem unthinkable to trade arguably the best pitcher in baseball who is just 22 years old, hasn't even hit arbitration and has four-plus seasons of team control remaining on his contract, but the Pittsburgh Pirates would certainly get a haul if they did decide to move Paul Skenes.
