Tigers trade Tarik Skubal, Jake Rogers, Casey Mize before deadline

The Detroit Tigers made significant moves ahead of the trade deadline, including trading away Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Veteran catcher Jake Rogers was sent to the Baltimore Orioles and subsequently traded to the Boston Red Sox. Pitcher Casey Mize was traded to the San Diego Padres. Tigers President Scott Harris discussed the rationale behind the trades, emphasizing a focus on both present and future team dynamics while dispelling notions of a lack of competition for Skubal. He also noted that despite the trades, the team remains in contention for a Wild Card spot in the American League, sitting 2.5 games back as they prepare for a series against the Seattle Mariners.
