The Los Angeles Dodgers are known for collecting starting pitching, and with Shohei Ohtani's status so uncertain at the moment, they will likely be placing calls to check in on the market.
Among the starting pitchers to be dealt, it has already been established that Tarik Skubal will be on the move. The Detroit Tigers are in free fall, and according to ESPN's Jeff Passan, it is a matter of when, not if.
The Dodgers are considered the "favorites" for Skubal, according to Passan, but that does not mean that they will indeed land him.
LA could be outbid, not due to a lack of resources, but because of how they want to allocate them. They may not want to give up all that much for a couple of months for Skubal, and the Dodgers could elect to have another team pay a steeper price.
