Paul Skenes didn\'t hear Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Ben Cherington say that trading the reigning National League Rookie of the Year to give the last-place club an influx of much-needed position player talent is \"not at all part of the conversation.\"
When someone relayed Cherington\'s comments to him, the 22-year-old ace laughed.
\"It doesn\'t affect anything,\" Skenes told The Associated Press late Friday night after the Pirates rallied for a 6-5, 10-inning win over Milwaukee. \"Anybody can play GM.\"
