The Los Angeles Dodgers have shown interest in acquiring Tarik Skubal, a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, amidst contract disagreements. However, experts like Tom Verducci from Sports Illustrated and Fabian Ardaya from The Athletic suggest that the chances of a trade are slim. The Tigers are currently in a strong position, with a 71.2% chance of making the postseason and a 52.2% chance of winning the American League Central division, according to FanGraphs. Given their competitive status in a weak division, trading Skubal, especially during a season where they are contending, would be viewed negatively by fans. Skubal's relationship with the Tigers' front office may be strained, but the team is expected to retain him unless significant changes occur. The Dodgers, equipped with a strong farm system, could theoretically offer prospects, including Dalton Rushing, to entice the Tigers, but such a move seems unlikely at this time.
