Following the trade of Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers to the Los Angeles Dodgers, ESPN's Jeff Passan highlighted several players who could be moved before the MLB trade deadline on Monday. Notable names mentioned include Luis Arraez, Luke Weaver, Reid Detmers, Adrian Morejon, and Adley Rutschman. Arraez is likely to be dealt as the San Francisco Giants are projected to sell after a disappointing season, while Weaver and Morejon are expected to be among the top relievers available.
