Will Pirates promote Paul Skenes for his MLB debut soon, despite Derek Shelton' lukewarm comments?
On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts to Pirates manager Derek Shelton's Monday comments on Paul Skenes' pending MLB debut. Why would Shelton say last year's No. 1 overall MLB draft pick is "scheduled to pitch" in the minors this weekend, despite many signs that point toward him being promoted? Why does the club's schedule make a debut soon unfavorable if it's not this weekend? And what's the likely timeline if a promotion is still coming this week? Jason tackles those questions, reacts to Mitch Keller's complete game win against the Los Angeles Angeles on Monday at PNC Park and gives his thoughts on former first-round pick Cole Tucker's return to Pittsburgh with the Angels.
