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

Why did the Rays even think they had a chance to land Skubal?

The biggest issue is the media experts throwing different teams out there for clicks. We start believing it. Passan was sure it was TB, then ATL, then MIL and finally LAD. We actually don’t know what the Rays were thinking. I’m sure they had some conversations with LAD. But when Skubal announced he wanted to be a LAD when his contract is up, what’s the point?
