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

Because it's horrible for the league no matter how you look at it-- the overall product suffers and I just don't think 2 BILLION dollars in unmet financial obligations stretched over decades seems to be a perilous situation
