Paul Skenes' regression raises shutdown question; catcher change signals Henry Davis future

Paul Skenes has regressed to a 3.96 ERA with rising walks, high pitch counts, velocity dip, and off-speed quality falling to the 17th percentile. Additionally, Skenes no longer exclusively uses Henry Davis as his catcher, a move that feels ominous for Davis's roster spot given his poor OPS+ and the emergence of other catchers. An article argues that if the Pirates continue to fade, they may face a season-defining decision to shut Skenes down early.
