The Pittsburgh Pirates enter Wednesday in a familiar position: last place in the National League Central, and in possession of the Senior Circuit's second-worst run differential. It's early yet, and it's only fair to disclose that the Pirates are without some key players,

Paul Skenes and Henry Davis became the first battery comprised of players taken with the top overall pick in the draft when they took the field together in Pittsburgh's 10-3 victory over Washington.

In a new interview with Esquire, Pittsburgh Pirates rookie Paul Skenes talks baseball, his $1 million rookie card, and his relationship with Louisiana State University gymnast and influencer Livvy Dunne. Skenes met Dunne at LSU in 2023, and their relationship was confirmed that August by Skenes after an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
