Tarik Skubal is headed to the Los Angeles Dodgers, in a **** anic shift at the MLB trade deadline.
The Detroit Tigers are finalizing a trade to send the two-time reigning American League Cy Young Award winner to Los Angeles, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan and the New York Post's Jon Heyman.
Reportedly going back to the Tigers are top 100 outfield prospect Zyhir Hope, pitching prospect River Ryan and pitching prospect Brady Smith.
The deal is a pure rental, as Skubal is set to hit free agency after this season. He is expected to command a deal well into the nine figures, likely larger Yoshinobu Yamamoto's 12-year, $325 million deal that currently stands as the high water mark in total money for MLB pitchers.
The deal ends a nine-year tenure in the Detroit organization for Skubal, who was drafted in the ninth round of the 2018 MLB Draft and soon developed into a high-octane lefty arm. Every season up to 2026 saw him grow more refined to the point he was carrying the crown of MLB's top pitcher entering this year.
