Deadline Frenzy: Skubal in Play as Twins Buy and Sox Target Catchers

With the MLB Trade Deadline on Aug. 3 at 6 p.m. ET, rumors center on Tarik Skubal as a marquee target and the Tigers weighing deals for him, with Milwaukee among teams showing interest; the Twins are buyers in a playoff push, and the Marlins are open to offers on controllable bats. A broader catching market is heating up with six clubs (Red Sox, Yankees, Rays, White Sox, Rangers, Dodgers) seeking catching help, though scarcity could complicate deals.
