The Pittsburgh Pirates, sitting at the bottom of the National League Central, can find some solace in the fact that they have the most dominant young pitcher in baseball in Paul Skenes. Pittsburgh's woes, however, have resulted in some unsubstantiated buzz that the franchise could resort to trading their generational ace.

A day after the Pittsburgh Pirates' front office declared its intention to keep ace Paul Skenes for the long term, the right-hander will get the start Friday against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers.

Rain has started to pick up in Pittsburgh, and unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's going to slow down for a while. According to Weather.com's hourly forecast, showers are expected to remain in Pittsburgh until after 10:00 p.m. ET, meaning it will likely be a little more than an hour and a half before play is resumed.
