Ep 575: Paul Skenes Inks Rookie Deal for Pittsburgh Pirates + Bryan Reynolds Struggles + Minor Leagues Updates

On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith talks about the signing of top overall selection Paul Skenes, breaking the record for the highest slot value in MLB Draft history. Will he pitch this season, what's the future plan and how should the Pirates manage him in 2024? Also, Bryan Reynolds inked a major extension earlier this season but has struggled since his hot start. How can Reynolds get back to his All-Star form, what adjustments can he make and fairly, is it his fault? Finally, the minor leagues have been of the upmost importance for some time now in Pittsburgh, so who is performing well, who could make their way to the team come September and who could be the biggest riser down the stretch of the season?
