2026 Trade Deadline - Skubal to dodgers

kalinecountry · Jul 26, 2026

The Tigers have only one real option heading into the trade deadline and their Skubal deliberations

This isn't 2014 for the Tigers, when they had an aging team and dwindling chances at playing in a World Series that Mike Ilitch so desperately craved. Opt, now, for better rosters in years ahead.

Latest Tarik Skubal trade rumors are missing the more important Tigers development

The Detroit Tigers' sudden return to the playoff race hasn’t killed the Tarik Skubal rumors, but it has completely changed what those rumors mean. This time, Bo

Jim Bowden Bob Nightingale Jon Morosi and Jon Heyman are always talking out of their asses with ridiculous possible trades.

Some Tarik Skubal/Dodgers Notes from maddie_m_lee dodgers writer of LA Times: “Instead of chasing Skubal, the Dodgers are poised to lean on returning injured stars and pricey offseason additions to fuel their quest for a third consecutive World Series title.” “With a week to go before the MLB trade deadline on Aug. 3, the Dodgers don’t appear to be moving toward a trade for Skubal, according to people with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly.”

Was there a player or two in the dodger's minor leagues you wanted them to trade skubal for?
The brewers have some excellent talent of their own, providing Harris doesn't screw it up.

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

The trade deadline is set for next Monday and it’s expected that the majority of teams will be waiting until the last couple of days to make their moves.
The Tigers, wisely, have not yet shown their hand. Their play has once again been inconsistent but they do play in the AL Central, MLB’s weakest division. They remain 6 games out of 1st place (through Monday’s games).
Detroit has 6 players about to become free agents. Only a couple of them will merit a qualifying offer that could be turned into an extra draft pick. The others, if they stay, will walk for nothing.
The Tigers will have to walk that fine line between trading many players, resulting in a potential fall in performance and trading only a couple strategic pieces. Or they could decide to “go for it” and be buyers.
On the other hand, the Tigers could be both sellers and buyers. Trading off a free agent or two while filling holes in the roster.
What should they do?

With the trade deadline near, what should the Tigers do?

1. Be sellers.

2. Be buyers.

3. Be both sellers and buyers.

I still voted sellers. I don't care if they win the next 4 games 14-0, they still need to trade Skubal.

Jake Rogers was Tarik Skubal’s personal catcher. So, his DFA today is pretty telling in regard to the direction the organization has chosen.
