Yankees won’t give up top prospect Spencer Jones for anybody but Paul Skenes

Makes our decision a lot easier.
lmfao, cause that’s definitely a 1 for 1 trade
I’m not willing to give up the 20 dollar bill in my pocket for anything short of a Porsche
He’ll end up on the Yankees in 4 years anyway.
Lololol
Hahaha
*If* we’re moving Skenes, Duran is a much better bat to get. Duran and Kyle Harrison would be fun
Hey Yankees: 🖕🏻
lol — a 24 year old guy with a 31% strikeout rate in the minors is *exactly* what this team needs
You knew damn well they were gonna try
That’s hilarious. He’s currently sitting at a 36% K rate split between AA and AAA. Sure, 29 HRs in 70 games is insane, but Major League pitching would absolutely dominate this kid. He wouldn’t see a pitch to hit out of the park; slider after slider after slider.
I don’t blame a team for being high on their prospects; we tend to do the exact same thing with ours. I wouldn’t be necessarily thrilled, however, if we swapped Bednar for Jones 1v1, hearing that they will only trade him for Skenes is a wild overvaluation.
I’m not sure why anyone would trade the pirates a top prospect. The Bucs are trying to cut money because they’re losing money again this year. Other teams are aware of this.
Yankees prospects are historically overrated. Let some other sucker trade with them.
Maybe Dominguez, Jones, Lombard, Schmidt, Schlittler, Riggio and Rafael Flores
The funniest thing yet. Jones has a career 31.5% strike out rate. I wish he was a pitcher…
A top prospect is worth a good closer with years of team control
If you think Cashman means 1 for 1, you’re braindead.
Nobody is higher on Yankees prospects than the Yankees
Then the Yankees shouldn’t have got Bednar.
While I wouldn’t give up Spencer Jones for a lot of players skenes has started the all star game 2 times in his second season. Jones is currently still a prospect who is raking AAA and has 29 he so far this season. I would say he is worth quite a bit just not sure skenes and him are on same level since skenes has proven it in the bigs.
Why would the Pirates trade a proven commodity for a prospect?
Lmao he’s not even in the top 100. These guys are delusional.
