Pittsburgh Pirates consider extending pitcher Paul Skenes

si.com

The Pittsburgh Pirates are reportedly considering a significant contract extension for pitcher Paul Skenes. Skenes, the reigning NL Cy Young winner, is under club control through 2029. His potential extension could be compared to deals like Garrett Crochet's six-year, $170 million or Jacob deGrom's five-year, $137.5 million. A long-term deal for Skenes could potentially exceed $500 million, a figure that might be too high for the Pirates, suggesting a shorter-term agreement is more likely.
