The New York Yankees' $218 million ace could join his Pittsburgh Pirates counterpart after a shocking announcement.

The 22-year-old ace will help headline a Team USA roster that is trying to win the World Baseball Classic title.

Paul Skenes did not mince words when speaking about the Pittsburgh Pirates firing manager Derek Shelton after a miserable start to the season.

The Pirates are among MLB’s worst teams, but with their great equalizer on the mound for six innings Monday night they stood a chance against the Mets.

The stars were out on Monday night as Dunne was joined by Camille Kostek, Ellie Thumann and Xandra, who each threw out a ceremonial first pitch.

It seems like the Pittsburgh Pirates find a way to reach a new rock bottom every week at this point. The most recent edition: a seven-game losing streak that precipitated the firing of manager Derek Shelton, and elicited a very pointed reaction from star right-hander Paul Skenes.

In his last 16 games, Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman is batting .475 with a 1.374 OPS, one of the most productive stretches of his career.
