Emotional Tarik Skubal Discusses Trade to Dodgers
The Dodgers added a two-time Cy Young winner as Detroit moved a top starter in a deal that could reshape both clubs' rotations.
- On Saturday, the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired two-time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers, sending three prospects to Detroit in exchange for the star pitcher.
- The Dodgers aim to secure a third consecutive World Series title, adding Skubal to a rotation weakened by injuries to Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell while maintaining a 10-game lead in the NL West.
- Detroit received three prospects in the deal: 21-year-old outfielder Zyhir Hope, 27-year-old Triple-A pitcher River Ryan, and Brady Smith. Hope, the Dodgers' fifth-ranked prospect, is slashing.293/.369/.530 with 23 home runs and 87 RBIs.
- "I'm very appreciative of everything the Tigers have done for me," Skubal said, while manager A.J. Hinch noted, "We've been bracing for something like this to happen, even though it's still tough when it becomes a reality."
- Skubal, who recently eclipsed 1,000 career strikeouts, is scheduled for free agency next offseason; USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported the Dodgers were his "first preference," suggesting potential long-term mutual interest.
