Skubal Trade Likely as Tigers Struggle

FOX insider Ken Rosenthal suggests Tarik Skubal will likely be traded before the Aug. 3 deadline as the Tigers continue to struggle.

FOX Sports MLB insider Ken Rosenthal reports that Tarik Skubal trade chances are improving, as the Detroit Tigers continue to stumble and deal with injuries. Skubal, a two-time AL Cy Young winner, is viewed as the top potential player who could be moved ahead of this year's trade deadline. argolida.life

Skubal is one of 15 Tigers players on the injured list, but he's expected to return soon. With a 2.70 ERA this season, the lefty is an ideal trade candidate as he's set to hit free agency this offseason. The Tigers are 22-37 overall, tied for the worst record in the American League, which may force them to listen to offers for their star pitcher.
