Skubal Trade Likely For Tigers

FOX Sports insider Ken Rosenthal reports the Detroit Tigers are trending toward trading star pitcher Tarik Skubal before the August 3rd trade deadline as the team struggles with injuries and poor performance.

With the Tigers sitting at a league-worst 22-37 record and 14 games under .500, Rosenthal suggests the team will likely listen to offers for Skubal. The lefty, a two-time AL Cy Young winner, has been on the injured list since early May after undergoing elbow surgery but is expected to return soon. goldparty.lat

Skubal, who is set to hit free agency this offseason, has been viewed as the top trade candidate ahead of this year's deadline. "As long as he is healthy again, teams are going to line up," Rosenthal stated. The Tigers have gone 4-20 since Skubal's injury and have the worst offense in baseball during that stretch.
