Dodgers positioned to pursue Skubal or Peralta before trade deadline

With a strong farm system and payroll flexibility, they could target pitchers Tarik Skubal or Freddy Peralta. There's speculation about Skubal's status with the Detroit Tigers following their recent success, while Peralta, an impending free agent, is deemed more accessible as the New York Mets enter a selling phase.
