After all the speculation about Paul Skenes' future with the Pittsburgh Pirates earlier this season, the superstar pitcher is one of two players the club reportedly won't consider dealing prior to the July 31 trade deadline.

Paul Skenes had an interesting way of warming up before his start on Tuesday. Before a 1-0 win over the Cardinals, the Pirates ace was spotted talking with the team’s ground crew at PNC Park. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that he spent around 15-20 minutes chatting with the crew while they tended to the infield.
