Tarik Skubal knew what the phone call meant before anyone needed to explain it.
The Detroit Tigers ace had stepped away from the dugout during Saturday night's game against the Athletics, something he had also done the previous evening to escape the heat and keep moving. This time, he never returned for the final innings.
"I got a phone call," Skubal said via the Detroit News. "And I knew what that was about."
Just like that, his seven-season run with the Tigers was over.
Detroit traded the reigning two-time American League Cy Young Award winner to the Los Angeles Dodgers for right-hander River Ryan, outfielder Zyhir Hope and pitching prospect Brady Smith.
