On their latest Pirates offseason podcast, presented by FanDuel, Post-Gazette insiders Jason Mackey and Colin Beazley talk Paul Skenes being nominated as a Cy Young finalist as well as the Dodgers' World Series win this past week.

How has Skenes' game evolved over the past couple of years to now put him in position to win the award as the National League's best pitcher? What impact could the big Fall Classic audience have on labor talks this offseason? Are the Dodgers' business practices of spending a lot to win good or bad for baseball? Especially viewed through the lens of owner Bob Nutting, GM Ben Cherington, manager Don Kelly and how they run the Pirates? And what did we learn about the Pirates' minor league system this year? With top prospects including Konnor Griffin, Bubba Chandler, Edward Florentino, Yonleg Gaetano and Esmerlyn Valdez? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
