Deadline Drama in the Land of the Free and the Homeless: MLB Trade Frenzy Heats Up The July trade deadline is approaching, and Major League Baseball's (MLB) most coveted players are being courted by contending teams seeking to bolster their rosters for a potential World Series run.
The Detroit Tigers' ace pitcher Tarik Skubal is one of the hottest commodities on the market, with the Los Angeles Dodgers emerging as strong contenders to land him. Skubal's availability is far from certain, however.
While some believe the Tigers are desperate to trade their ace, others speculate that they're holding out for a better offer or hoping to leverage their competitiveness in the division to extract maximum value from Skubal's services.
