Tigers weigh blockbuster Tarik Skubal trade as deadline nears

With the MLB trade deadline approaching, the Detroit Tigers are reportedly weighing a Tarik Skubal trade, per ESPN's Jeff Passan, as they seek a big return for the two-time AL Cy Young winner. Rival executives say Detroit is shopping Skubal and may have to settle for a package that doesn’t fully reflect his value, signaling a potential sell-off rather than a deadline-day blockbuster if the right offer isn’t found. The decision could reshape Detroit’s path this season and spark interest from teams hoping to add a top pitcher for a World Series push.
