The Detroit Tigers, despite being in the playoff race, may not have the depth for a strong postseason run, prompting consideration of trading Tarik Skubal before the Aug. 3 deadline. The two-time AL Cy Young winner has expressed a desire to join the Los Angeles Dodgers, who could benefit from his addition amid rotation injuries, especially with Shohei Ohtani sidelined. While other teams may hesitate to acquire Skubal without the ability to retain him, the Dodgers are seen as his preferred destination. Acquiring Skubal could strengthen their rotation and deter competition, further enhancing their postseason ambitions.
