Tigers Likely to Trade Skubal

The Tigers, tied for the worst record in the American League at 22-37, have gone 4-20 since Skubal's injury in early May. The lefty, who has a 2.70 ERA this season and is set to hit free agency this offseason, is viewed as the top trade candidate as the Tigers look to rebuild.

Skubal, who has missed most of May after undergoing elbow surgery, is expected to return in mid-to-late June. Rosenthal noted that teams would likely line up to acquire him if healthy, with the Tigers potentially seeking a major haul in return for the two-time AL Cy Young winner. tbzikra.org
