The Pittsburgh Pirates are headed toward being sellers at the trade deadline. Could they ever consider trading Paul Skenes well before he hits free agency?

MLB trade rumor season doesn't really heat up until the calendar flips to June, but as Memorial Day approaches, we are beginning to get an idea of what some of the main storylines will be in advance of July 31.

But regardless if Ryan is traded, the Pirates will also inquire about higher ranking prospects as well as major leaguers. This would include Hyeseong Kim and recently promoted No. 1 prospect Dalton Rushing. No. 2 and 3 prospects Josue De Paula and Zyhir Hope are also worth watching though their debuts are not imminent.
