Yankees, Phillies viewed as long shots to trade for Tarik Skubal
Summary

The New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies are considered long shots to acquire pitcher Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers. Although the Tigers are not eliminated from postseason contention, they risk losing Skubal for nothing if they do not trade him soon. Major contenders like the Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee Brewers, and Tampa Bay Rays are seen as more likely suitors. The Yankees and Phillies face challenges filling other roster needs and may not match the potential offers from these teams. The Tigers are said to have significant leverage in negotiations, especially given Skubal's value as a rental player.
