Dodgers engaged in Skubal trade discussions ahead of deadline

The Los Angeles Dodgers are among several teams inquiring about Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal as the MLB Trade Deadline approaches on August 3. Other interested teams include the Tampa Bay Rays, Milwaukee Brewers, Atlanta Braves, and New York Yankees. The Dodgers have a history of being frontrunners for Skubal since the 2024 deadline but may not urgently need his services considering the rehabilitation of their pitchers. Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris is reportedly asking for all players to be on the table in Skubal trade talks, with the Dodgers potentially offering southpaw Eric Lauer and outfielder Alex Call. The situation remains fluid as multiple teams vie for the Cy Young Award winner.
