2026 MLB trade deadline: Why Dodgers are in/out on Tarik Skubal - ESPN
A few weeks ago, Tarik Skubal being dealt before Major League Baseball's trade deadline seemed like an inevitability. Now, it's at least a debate. The Detroit Tigers, fresh off taking two of three from the lowly Los Angeles Angels over the weekend, have won 10 of their first 14 games in July and are 25-15 since the start of June. They're still six games below .500, but in a watered-down American League, they're also just 4½ games out of a wild-card spot — albeit with five teams to jump.
