Dodgers' Tarik Skubal Says He'd 'Love to Return' to Tigers in Free Agency
Starting pitcher Tarik Skubal's stint with the Los Angeles Dodgers might not last long after he was traded there at the deadline.
Tarik Skubal, the two-time American League Cy Young Award winner, recently left the Los Angeles Dodgers after just one season with the team. Skubal's move to the Dodgers came about after the Detroit Tigers traded him on Sunday for center fielder Zyhir Hope, and right-handed pitchers River Ryan and Brady Smith. The southpaw expressed his difficulty in leaving the Tigers after being a part of the organization for his entire career.
Skubal admitted that he would love to play his entire career in Detroit and hopes negotiations for his free agency could pick up in November. He stated that joining the Dodgers would boost his chances of winning his first World Series title, but he also wanted to help Detroit win its first championship since 1984. Skubal felt the Tigers had the roster to do it this season, but the trade ultimately went through, leaving his future with the Tigers up for negotiation.
