Los Angeles Dodgers weigh a trade for Tarik Skubal at deadline

Right‑hander Tarik Skubal posted a 3. 10 ERA and 180 strikeouts in 2025, making him Detroit Tigers' most valuable arm.

The Dodgers are targeting Skubal to boost their rotation depth, but high demand and price could complicate the deal. Detroit aims to acquire young prospects and cut payroll, while Skubal's trade value may rise as the deadline approaches.

Both clubs are conducting a thorough assessment ahead of the deadline.
