Detroit Tigers set high asking price for Tarik Skubal trade

The Detroit Tigers are reportedly asking for a significant return for pitcher Tarik Skubal ahead of the trade deadline. The reigning back-to-back Cy Young Award winner is a free agent after the season, attracting interest from multiple contenders, including the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, an anonymous National League executive indicated that the initial trade asks for Skubal are high and unlikely to be met. The Dodgers may be reluctant to overpay given their competitive roster and potential changes in the new collective bargaining agreement. The situation remains fluid as teams assess their options leading up to the trade deadline.
