It's unfortunate that no one ever gets to see this guy pitch with how dominant he is. Teams might be building a war chest to sign him for when he's a free agent.

He's getting traded before he's a free agent.
Start building up that prospect pool Blue Jays...so you can trade it all for Skenes.
After this season he has 4 more years of team control in Pittsburgh, and I'd bet that he's traded after 2 of them (offseason after the 2027 season).
