Paul Skenes reacts to rampant Pirates trade speculation: 'Anybody can play GM'
Briefly

Paul Skenes, a promising young pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, is unfazed by rumors suggesting the team might trade him. With a solid performance this season marked by a 2.36 ERA and 70 strikeouts, Skenes remains focused on his game amidst speculation. General manager Ben Cherington has firmly stated that trading Skenes is not a part of their current strategy. Skenes, who is used to public scrutiny given his high-profile relationship, believes analysts and fans discussing trades lack depth and insight.
I don't expect it to happen. Ben's job is to create a winning team and a winning organization...but I have to pitch well. That's the bottom line.
Everybody can play GM. There's no substance to just all that talk that you hear on social media and news outlets.
