Pirates offer trade for Paul Skenes’ exclusive baseball card

Earlier this week, Topps, a trading card company, released a baseball card of Pittsburgh Pirates rookie pitcher Paul Skenes.

And whoever comes into possession of that card will have the chance to exchange it for a whole host of goodies, courtesy of the Pirates.

Even though it’s nowhere near the trade deadline, the Pirates want to make a deal so they can show the card to the fans at PNC Park.

Here’s some of what the Pirates have to offer: seats behind home plate at PNC Park for the next 30 years, an exclusive meet-and-greet with Skenes and two autographed Skenes jerseys, and a chance to watch a softball game organizing in the baseball field.

Even Skenes’ girlfriend, LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, got in on the action, saying the winner would get the chance to sit in a suite with her.

Skenes, a finalist for the National League Rookie of the Year and Cy Young Award, went 11-3 this season with a 1.96 ERA and 170 strikeouts.
