Shock Trade News: Detroit Tigers Veteran signs for Orioles on a 4years deal as revealed by club statement…
The Detroit Tigers are not likely to trade Tarik Skubal. With two more years of team control, Skubal can be the rotation centerpiece around a Tigers franchise that aims to compete in the next few years. But that won’t stop teams, including the first-place Baltimore Orioles, from trying to land him.
No doubt a team would have to overwhelm the Tigers to get them to move a guy who has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this year. The Orioles have the farm system to do just that, as MLB Network’s Jon Morosi pointed out recently.
“The Tigers have not said one way or the other at this juncture if Skubal is going to be available,” he said. “The one team that we could imagine potentially having a compelling conversation with the Tigers would be the Baltimore Orioles because of the amount of high-level, position-player talent they have in the minor leagues and certainly among their young major leaguers, as well.”
