Tarik Skubal Trade Likelihood is on the Rise
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal (elbow) could be on his way out of town sooner rather than later. It's almost certain at this point that Skubal is going to test free agency this winter. The chances of the southpaw getting moved are rising with the Tigers falling in the standings. The Tigers have lost 14 of their last 16 games and are currently five games out of the Wild Card, while sitting in last place in their division. Skubal appears to be making good progress and could return to the mound sooner than expected. The southpaw is currently recovering from surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow. His eventual return is good for the Tigers, but is unlikely to shift the direction of this team, with Detroit having a handful of pitchers on the Injured List. It could be in the best interest of the organization to trade Skubal for whatever they can get before he leaves in free agency after the season.
