8/5 6:00 AM Paul Skenes (P-PIT) Pirates Discussing Contract Extension with Paul Skenes. The Pittsburgh Pirates have one of the best pitchers in baseball in Paul Skenes and a precarious future with him going forward, but are looking to keep him around for the long-term. Dan Zangrilli, the Pirates pre-game & post-game show host on 93.7 The Fan reported that the Pirates have engaged in contract extension talks with Skenes. Skenes currently makes $875,000 in 2025 in his second pre-arbitration season, where most players make around the MLB minimum, $760,000. Zangrilli said that while an extension won't come easy, the Pirates won't stop from trying and that they will likely use money they freed up from trading third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes to the Cincinnati Reds and give help for Skenes or use it for the extension.
