Tigers consider Tarik Skubal trade as deadline approaches
Summary

As the August 3 trade deadline nears, the Detroit Tigers are weighing trade offers for pitcher Tarik Skubal. The team is on a 28-17 run since June 1 and has shown potential in the wild card race, complicating their decision. While no trades are currently in the works, the Tigers face challenges due to being above the luxury tax threshold and may need to shed payroll. They are likely seeking a top 50 prospect and additional talent in any potential deal. Interested teams include the Los Angeles Dodgers, Tampa Bay Rays, and Milwaukee Brewers, each with strong farm systems that could provide valuable prospects.
