MLB Deadline: Tigers Weigh Middle Path On Skubal Trade
Shohei Ohtani’s knee setback could push Los Angeles to add a starter, with Tarik Skubal drawing interest before the trade deadline.
- With the August 3 MLB trade deadline approaching, the Los Angeles Dodgers are weighing a potential pursuit of Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal amid uncertainty surrounding Shohei Ohtani's pitching status.
- Manager Dave Roberts confirmed on Saturday that Ohtani experienced "regression" with his knee following a bullpen session, delaying his return to the mound and complicating the team's deadline strategy.
- To acquire Skubal, the Dodgers could offer starting pitcher Emmet Sheehan alongside prospects Zyhir Hope and Aidan West from their deep farm system.
- Although linked to Skubal, the Dodgers do not appear to be actively pursuing a deal, as Roberts has stated the organization remains comfortable with their current roster.
- Contending clubs face a shrinking window before the 6 p.m. ET deadline on August 3, with front offices racing to add reinforcements while weighing whether to buy or sell assets.
