Tigers trade Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize before deadline

Tigers president Scott Harris expressed regret over trading starting pitchers Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize prior to the August 3 deadline. Both players were dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, respectively, as the Tigers sought to inject new talent into their organization. Following a difficult May that left the team 16 games under.500, the Tigers have since posted a 7-2 record during a West Coast trip, enhancing their Wild Card hopes. Harris has indicated that the team is still aiming for a competitive season despite these trades.
