Post-Gazette Pirates beat writers Jason Mackey and Colin Beazley react to Paul Skenes winning the National League Cy Young award this week, alongside American League winner Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers. This show is presented by FanDuel.

They address not just why Skenes was the obvious choice despite the Pirates' poor season overall; Skenes' comments about his desire to win in Pittsburgh alongside manager Don Kelly and teammates including Oneil Cruz, Bryan Reynolds, Mitch Keller and others; and Skenes' and GM Ben Cherington's dismissal of trade rumors this week that suggested Skenes wants to be dealt to the New York Yankees.
