"While many teams would be thrilled with the depth and quality of the group, Andrew Friedman isn't going to rest on his laurels. In fact, various reports seem to indicate the Dodgers aiming to make the group even more potent with the possible acquisition of back-to-back AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal."
"With Skubal being a free agent at the end of the year, the Detroit Tigers face the reality where if the team doesn't pony up a substantial amount of money, he could walk without anything coming back in return."
"Both the Mets and Dodgers have the ammunition to get a deal done. Detroit theoretically would require a combination of young MLB-ready players coupled with high-end prospects. Even if just a rental, Skubal's impact on either ballclub would be immense given how talented he is."
The Los Angeles Dodgers possess an exceptionally deep and talented starting pitching rotation and are targeting further upgrades through acquisition. The organization is pursuing Tarik Skubal, a two-time AL Cy Young winner, to add elite talent to the staff. Skubal will reach free agency after the season, creating pressure on the Detroit Tigers to either sign him to a large contract or explore a trade. Contending teams such as the Dodgers and New York Mets appear most likely trade destinations. Detroit would likely demand a mix of MLB-ready young players and high-end prospects in return, including intriguing pitching and infield prospects.
