Skubal Lands in LA: Dodgers Acquire Tigers Ace
Los Angeles adds a frontline starter in Tarik Skubal, while Detroit receives a return package deemed solid but overdue.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired starting pitcher Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers. CBS Sports grades the deal an easy A for the Dodgers, who add a proven ace to their rotation. Detroit's return package is characterized as fine but the organization is criticized for allowing the situation to reach a trade rather than building around Skubal. The move signals a clear sell-off posture for the Tigers.
