Tigers trade Tarik Skubal to Dodgers
The Detroit Tigers on Sunday traded ace Tarik Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers, receiving outfielder Zyhir Hope and right-handed pitchers River Ryan and Brady Smith. Skubal is a two-time Cy Young Award winner, and River Ryan is the only incoming player on the Tigers' 40-man roster; he has been assigned to Triple-A Toledo while rehabbing a hamstring, Hope will report to Double-A Erie and Smith to High-A West Michigan. The move leaves Detroit with a four-man rotation and the possibility of falling to three starters if Casey Mize is traded before Monday's 6 p.m. deadline, while several injured starters could return later in the season.
Tigers acquired three prospects in exchange for Tarik Skubal.
Context
The trade was announced on Sunday near the MLB trade deadline. The Tigers now have fewer starters and could trade Casey Mize before the deadline.
