Now, the question isn\u2019t whether he\u2019ll make another move, but if he can make a trade for not only the best pitcher in baseball, but a youngster who has a chance to be a generational arm.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Carelli of Sports Illustrated proposed a deal for the Dodgers to land <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/us\/mlb\/pittsburgh-pirates\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Pittsburgh Pirates;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a> ace Paul Skenes, despite how unlikely it sounds.<\/p>\n<p>Dodgers receive: Paul Skenes<\/p>\n<p>Pirates receive: Tyler Glasnow, River Ryan, Josue De Paula (OF, No. 1 prospect), Zyhir Hope (OF, No. 2 prospect), Jackson Ferris (SP, No. 6 prospect), Emil Morales (SS, No. 7 prospect)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf any team in the MLB will deal half of their farm system for one elite player, that will be the Dodgers.

It is surprising that he hasn&#8217;t received a big deal yet. We know the Pirates are reluctant to hand out contracts like that. If prime Babe Ruth walked in the door, they may trade him away. It is just how things are,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/onsi\/fantasy\/trade-analysis\/mlb-mock-trade-dodgers-tyler-glasnow-paul-skenes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:wrote;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For Los Angeles, pairing Skenes with an already star-studded rotation would extend its championship window even further, which is insane to think about.
