As the trade deadline approaches this summer, both the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers are linked to Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal. Reports indicate that both teams face challenges regarding the trade cost and fit in their pitching rotations. The Dodgers have a deep rotation that includes Shohei Ohtani and others, while the Yankees anticipate a similar depth with the return of Max Fried. Adding a pitcher like Skubal is not a primary need for either team, as they have other positions requiring attention.
