Dodgers could pursue Cy Young winner Skubal as trade candidate
Summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers are considered potential buyers at this year's trade deadline, possibly eyeing Tarik Skubal, who has won the AL Cy Young award twice. While the Dodgers have a strong farm system that could attract the Detroit Tigers, concerns arise about Skubal's fit in Los Angeles. Analysts suggest that a trade would lead to significant public scrutiny and mixed perceptions if he were to thrive on an already talented Dodgers team. The Dodgers are expected to be active in trade discussions given their status as World Series contenders, but it's uncertain if Skubal will ultimately be moved there.
