Paul Skenes is chasing the 2025 NL Cy Young Award — and making history along the way. In this episode of Bucs’ Bounty, Steven Brault and Michael McKenry break down Skenes’ dominant season, his latest record-setting performance, and how he stacks up against Zack Wheeler in the NL Cy Young race.

Then it’s The Skenes Blueprint — how the Pittsburgh Pirates can build a contender around their generational ace. The guys spotlight the current core, positions that need upgrades, and the Pirates prospects ready to make an impact, including Bubba Chandler, plus a few surprise September call-up candidates.

Finally, it’s the Build-a-Bucs Draft: one game, $50 budget each. Legends, fan favorites, and plenty of trash talk. Who built the better roster? Let us know in the comments!
