Dodgers Land Cy Young Ace Tarik Skubal
The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired two-time reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers in a blockbuster trade deadline deal. President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and manager Dave Roberts confirmed the transaction on Sunday. To complete the trade, Los Angeles sent right-hander River Ryan, outfielder Zyhir Hope, and pitching prospect Brady Smith to Detroit. Talks between the two organizations escalated rapidly after beginning on Friday. Dodgers leadership noted that Skubal was their singular focus ahead of the deadline as the team pursues an unprecedented third consecutive National League World Series title. Skubal joins a Los Angeles rotation currently holding a 69-42 record. Skubal posted a 2.30 ERA across his back-to-back Cy Young campaigns, maintaining a 31.2% strikeout rate and a 4.5% walk rate. The Detroit Tigers elected to move their ace rather than risk losing him to upcoming free agency. Skubal is scheduled to make his first start for the Dodgers on Tuesday at Wrigley Field. Following the acquisition, Friedman stated that the major league roster is largely set for the remainder of the deadline period.
