MLB Trade Deadline: Tarik Skubal Is the Big Prize, but Buyers Have Other Options, Too
Skubal is a 29-year-old free agent after the season, and Detroit could weigh offers as it stays in the American League wild-card race.
- The Major League Baseball trade deadline arrives Monday at 6 p.m. EDT, with Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal emerging as the premier target. Skubal, a two-time Cy Young winner, is in the midst of another strong season.
- Despite missing five weeks for elbow surgery earlier this season, Skubal has bounced back quickly, posting a 2.03 ERA over his last five starts. Complicating his availability, the Tigers remain 4.5 games back in the wild-card race.
- Beyond Skubal, Padres closer Mason Miller commands attention with 85 strikeouts over 45 2/3 innings and a 0.79 ERA. Teams also monitor Twins pitcher Joe Ryan and Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta as secondary options.
- While clear buyers like the Yankees and Dodgers pursue reinforcements, nearly 20 teams remain undecided on their deadline strategy. This uncertainty creates a volatile market as general managers balance playoff contention against long-term roster construction.
- Franchises are also targeting position players including Giants second baseman Luis Arraez and Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams. With Monday's deadline fast approaching, teams must finalize decisions on whether to buy, sell, or remain neutral.
