Olivia Dunne's boyfriend Paul Skenes is reportedly off-limits ahead of trade deadline

With only three days to go until the July 31 trade deadline, the Pittsburgh Pirates are busy making moves to capitalize on players who are on expiring contracts. However, Paul Skenes remains unlikely to get traded, especially to New York.

MLB insider Jeff Passan weighed in on the matter.

“Just to be clear, the Pirates have no intention of trading Paul Skenes at this point,” Passan said on "The Pat McAfee Show."

The Yankees would undoubtedly want Skenes, like most other clubs. Ever since he stepped foot on an MLB mound, he has been nothing short of exceptional, and it will be interesting to see if he chooses to leave Pittsburgh and take his talents elsewhere.
