Skubal Trade Package Draws Skepticism From Rival Execs
Detroit is moving two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, but rival executives are openly questioning whether the return is nearly enough.
Jon Heyman reports that a Tarik Skubal trade is in motion, with outfield prospect Zyhir Hope as the centerpiece of the return. While scouts view Hope as a potential multiple-time All-Star, rival executives are calling the overall package light for a pitcher described as a top-two player in baseball. One rival exec suggested the Tigers could easily find a better offer by simply making calls. The deal has not been officially confirmed, and the criticism implies it may still be fluid.
