  Pittsburgh Pirates’ window to contend may be now, but will ownership seize it—or squander Paul Skenes’ prime? Sully and Gary Morgan spotlight the ace’s Cy Young season, talk the urgency of adding legitimate bats, and weigh whether a long-awaited playoff run is possible before Skenes dons pinstripes or Dodgers blue.
