Dodgers among top contenders for Tarik Skubal ahead of trade deadline

Summary

Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers is a key trade candidate as the MLB trade deadline approaches. The Tigers suffered a loss Wednesday, limiting their postseason chances and increasing the likelihood of a Skubal trade. Insider Jim Bowden listed the Dodgers as the second-most likely team to acquire Skubal, following the Brewers. Although the Tigers have not officially put Skubal on the market, various factors suggest they should consider a move, especially given Skubal's impending free agency.
