The Dodgers Get Skubal!

Tarik Skubal has been traded to the Dodgers in a four-player trade with the Tigers. Despite the crowded playoff picture in the AL Central, the Tigers opted to deal their ace in hopes of getting multiple contributors capable of keeping them in the mix for future playoff runs. Eno and DVR discuss the details of the trade, and the potential of the Dodgers’ rotation if they can have everyone healthy during the playoffs.
