Dodgers Acquire Cy Young Winner Skubal at Deadline

The Los Angeles Dodgers finalized a trade for Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal on the deadline, sending two top‑100 prospects and a 2023 third‑round pick to the Detroit Tigers.

The Dodgers' front office and manager Dave Roberts had one target in mind: Tarik Skubal. By Saturday night, a deal was struck that sent outfielder Zyhir Hope, pitcher River Ryan and 2023 third‑round pick Brady Smith to the Tigers Clipboard in exchange for the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner.

Roberts said the room had no other options and that the trade was “pretty much done” before the Red Sox game. The move leaves the Dodgers with an already strong roster, while the Tigers pick up top prospects for the future. sweetbonanza.qpon
