Dodgers Land Tarik Skubal From Tigers in Lopsided Deadline Deal
Los Angeles acquires the Tigers' ace for a mid-tier prospect and two fringe arms, drawing widespread criticism of Detroit's return.
The Dodgers have acquired starting pitcher Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers in a trade completed just before the MLB trade deadline. The return for Detroit centers on outfield prospect Zyhir Hope, ranked in the 25-50 range on MLB top prospect lists, along with injured right-hander River Ryan and right-hander Brady Smith. ESPN publicly graded the Tigers' haul a D. The deal adds rotation depth to an already strong Dodgers squad that did not need Skubal to secure their division.
