Tigers 'Trending' to Trade Skubal

FOX insider Ken Rosenthal says chances are improving that the Tigers will trade Tarik Skubal before the Aug. 3 deadline.

As the Detroit Tigers continue to struggle with a 22-37 record, FOX Sports MLB insider Ken Rosenthal reports that Tarik Skubal is likely to be moved before the trade deadline. "It's trending that way," Rosenthal said, noting the team's bleak outlook with a 14-game under .500 deficit. capturengo.org

Skubal, a 2-time AL Cy Young winner currently on the injured list after elbow surgery, is considered the top trade candidate. He's expected to resume throwing soon and could return by mid-to-late June. With the Tigers' offense struggling to score runs since Skubal's departure, teams are expected to line up if he proves healthy, according to Rosenthal.
