Harris’s bold Skubal trade reshapes the Tigers’ future
TL;DR Summary
Detroit’s Scott Harris justified trading Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers after weighing an extension bid and choosing to chase a 2026 championship with a three-prospect return (Zyhir Hope, River Ryan, Brady Smith), while also shipping Casey Mize and Gage Workman to San Diego for Kash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf to replenish a thinning system. Harris stressed that the decision was about long-term upside, admitted he hates selling, and argued the team’s 2026 rally and replenished pipeline could define his Tigers era.
