In the midst of the MLB Trade Deadline, speculation is mounting around potential trades involving Tarik Skubal and Hunter Greene. According to sources, Skubal's recent exit from a game against the Baltimore Orioles may signal to the Detroit Tigers that it's time to move their ace at the deadline. Skubal, who recorded his 1,000th strikeout during his performance, received a no-decision, further fueling the rumors of a potential trade.
The Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs are leading the pack in pursuit of Skubal, with reports suggesting the Los Angeles Dodgers may emerge as the final destination for the ace due to Shohei Ohtani's health concerns.
Meanwhile, there is a 50-50 chance that the Cincinnati Reds might trade flame-thrower Hunter Greene ahead of the deadline. Greene missed the first half of the season due to surgery for bone chips in his right elbow, and while he has shown promise since returning, health issues are a major concern for potential trade partners. The New York Yankees are among several teams looking for help behind the plate at the deadline, with reports suggesting they have inquired about 3-time All-Star switch-hitting catcher Adley Rutschman.
However, the Orioles have reportedly indicated they are open to moving players, including Rutschman, to interested suitors.
