Yankees among five teams inquiring about Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal

The New York Yankees are expected to inquire about a trade for Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal this summer, alongside the Tampa Bay Rays, Milwaukee Brewers, Atlanta Braves, and Los Angeles Dodgers. The Yankees, who are anticipated to be active buyers at the trade deadline, are assessing their pitching needs, particularly for a starting pitcher. Skubal, currently holding a 2.70 ERA, is a key target as the Yankees look to strengthen their rotation for a potential postseason run. The cost of acquiring Skubal may be substantial, leading the Yankees to consider other options such as San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller.
