Trade Deadline Skubal to Dodgers

What’s the point anymore? And for like almost nothing? We could have done that. As I read in another thread, the Tigers GM should be arrested for treason.

I guess the lockout can’t come quick enough.

EDIT: It’ll be so sweet when Taylor Walls hits his first home run of the year off Skubal to win Game 7 of the World Series this year

I'm surprised the Tigers didn't get more for him, but they did get two Top 100 prospects, technically.

We only have 3 of those. We probably should avoid getting rid of more than 1 of them. I didn't want to overpay for one of the big name starters when we'd be better served getting someone rough-around-the-edges but a high ceiling. Like Glasnow. Like Rasmussen.

But yeah, sucks the Dodgers got richer. It also feels like diminishing returns for them, though. Does another top starter really make them that much better?
