The Detroit Tigers traded away Tarik Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers before the deadline.
Skubal is a pending free agent, so Detroit wanted to get something back for him. Yet, after the deal, the back-to-back Cy Young Award winner said he was open to returning to Detroit in free agency.
However, MLB insider Bob Nightengale of USA Today revealed that Skubal will only go to the Dodgers or the New York Mets due to money.
"Dodgers two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal is saying all of the right things about his upcoming free agency, even revealing his interest about a potential return to Detroit," Nightengale wrote. "The cold-hearted truth is that there will be only two teams who will make serious bids for his services: The Dodgers and New York Mets. That's it."
Skubal going back to Detroit would be a cool story, as many Tigers fans wanted him to be with their franchise for his entire career. But, as Nightengale notes, Detroit likely doesn't have the money to sign Skubal in free agency.
