Dodgers Land Cy Young Ace Tarik Skubal in a Blockbuster Deadline Deal
The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal in a blockbuster trade, adding the two-time reigning American League Cy Young Award winner to an already formidable rotation featuring stars such as Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow. Skubal, who was emotional about leaving the organization that drafted and developed him, said he was motivated by the chance to pursue a World Series title in Los Angeles. Detroit received three minor-league prospects, while the Dodgers strengthened their position as championship favorites.
