HOUR 1 - Pirates attempt to sign Skenes, GIVEAWAY, Noah Hiles

The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller - A podcast by Audacy - Fridays

We started with a conversation we had with Dan Zangrilli yesterday that had us thinking – will the Pirates truly try to sign Paul Skenes to an extension? Poni thinks there is actually an avenue to it happening, but Chris isn’t seeing it. It’s hard to imagine Skenes wanting to be here any longer than he has to be. If it’s a 5-year deal, will he be here for the full 5? With how baseball is now, is it logical to think Skenes would sign a deal here? GIVEAWAY. Pirates insider Noah Hiles from the PG joined the show. Noah is not getting the sense that the Pirates are pursuing an extension with Paul Skenes right now. How much do the circumstances matter? Would it be different if the Pirates were really trying to win instead of what their offseason plan was? Noah brought up the military background for Skenes. Chris wanted a tour of what happened at Coors Field on Friday night.
