ESPN's Jeff Passan's take on a Paul Skenes trade away from the Pittsburgh Pirates could make, upsetting former MLB player Trevor Plouffe.

Paul Skenes was dominant on Sunday. It didn't matter, because the Pittsburgh Pirates didn't score in a 1-0 loss to the Phillies. And the calls that have persisted on social media basically since the start of the season have only gotten louder.

Passan did say that the Pirates should first try to build around Skenes, particularly on the offensive side, while they still have Skenes in his prime. However, that involves spending, which owner Bob Nutting has controversially done very little of.
