As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the New York Yankees are being mentioned as a likely candidate to acquire Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal. Skubal, fresh off an elbow surgery recovery, boasts a 2.81 ERA over eight starts this season and has previously won back-to-back Cy Young Awards. Reports suggest that the Tigers might look to trade him if they cannot secure a contract extension by the offseason. With the Yankees positioned for a playoff run, adding Skubal could further enhance their chances at a World Series title.
