Two-time defending AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal is officially a Dodger following Saturday's blockbuster trade, with ripple effects being felt across MLB. On the latest episode of MLB According to CC, Hall of Famer CC Sabathia explained why the Dodgers' marquee acquisition has major consequences for the Milwaukee Brewers' NL Pennant and World Series aspirations.
The number one thing I thought about was how the Brewers kind of blew it ... I felt like [Los Angeles] was the only spot that he could go to that would ruin the Brewers' season.

Sabathia always believed that Milwaukee was the team that could have benefited the most from acquiring Skubal, explaining just a week ago that the Brewers had to make a major move to "get over the hump." With the star lefty now wearing Dodger blue, Sabathia fears the lack of a rotation upgrade could "break" the Brewers' hopes of truly challenging the Dodgers for NL supremacy.
The Hall of Famer points primarily to Los Angeles' nearly unmatched pitching depth, where Dave Roberts' rotation has the chance to become one of the best rotations we have "ever seen," with a staff that could include Skubal, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell.
