Pirates' Paul Skenes wants players to DIG IN amid labor talks with MLB? Would salary cap help?
from Post-Gazette Sports Network: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more · host Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Post-Gazette Pirates insider Colin Beazley details his conversation with reigning Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes about the state of MLB's current labor negotiations and the possibility that games could be lost in the 2027 season. He also explains the competing proposals and the implications of each on the Pirates. Would owner Bob Nutting, GM Ben Cherington and manager Don Kelly be better able to compete in a salary cap system? Would it be more likely for stars like Skenes, Bryan Reynolds, Oneil Cruz, Braxton Ashcraft and Konnor Griffin to stay in Pittsburgh long term? And would the team be able to make more impact signings like Brandon Lowe and Ryan O'Hearn in free agency? Colin tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
