Dodgers eye Tarik Skubal and Clay Holmes ahead of trade deadline

Summary

With the 2026 trade deadline approaching, the Los Angeles Dodgers are evaluating several potential trade targets to enhance their roster. While they currently hold the best record in baseball, they may explore trades involving pitchers Tarik Skubal of the Tigers and Clay Holmes of the Mets. Skubal has shown a return to form after injury, but the Dodgers might prioritize relying on returning starters. Holmes, who has transitioned to a starting role, could provide additional depth. Other potential targets include catcher Jonah Heim from the Athletics and pitcher Walker Buehler, previously with the Dodgers, now with the Padres.
