Tigers Likely to Trade Skubal Before Deadline

The Tigers are currently 22-37, tied for the worst record in the AL with a 14-game under .500 deficit. Skubal, who has won the AL Cy Young in each of the last two seasons, is one of 15 Tigers players on the injured list after undergoing elbow surgery in May. Since his departure on May 4, the team has gone 4-20 with the fewest runs scored in the majors over that stretch. bettingx.club

Skubal is viewed as the top trade candidate heading into this year's deadline, with teams lining up to acquire him if he proves healthy. The lefty is expected to return in mid-to-late June after throwing again Monday, and with his 2.70 ERA this season, he remains highly sought despite his recent injury concerns.
