Tigers' Skubal Seen as Imminent Trade Candidate Before Deadline
Detroit's ace lefty is considered the top available player at the deadline, with the Tigers fading from playoff contention.
Tarik Skubal made what may have been his final start as a Tiger, with the team sitting 4.5 games out of a Wild Card spot and holding roughly a 24% playoff probability. The Tigers are not expected to re-sign Skubal, who will hit free agency this offseason and is projected to command a record-setting contract. FanGraphs analysis argues a trade is the only rational move for Detroit. No official trade has been completed or formally reported by a beat reporter.
