The New York Yankees reportedly spoke with the Detroit Tigers about Tarik Skubal before Detroit completed its blockbuster trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
According to Bryan Hoch, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said the Tigers centered their demands around one specific player New York refused to include.
"They set a high price that was something we were unable to get them off," Cashman said. "It was a very specific ask, a certain player we weren't willing to play with in that arena."
Hoch suggested the player was likely George Lombard Jr.
Lombard is not just another promising player in New York's farm system.
