Conor, I am going to say Dodgers or Cubs….and I’ll say
Cubbies for Skubal.
Should be a record deal regardless.

Welp, the trophy engraver is getting his work done early this year.

One commentator thinks the Skubal deal may shut down other MLB trades:
"The best team gets the best player, and we have to ask that question? I'm more curious about what it means for the rest of the trade deadline. Do teams back off on giving up prospects, considering their chances to win it all this year just took a major hit? Some in the NL might just roll the dice and head into the postseason as-is and then hope for a salary cap next year and a more even playing field."
Thought Tigers would get higher ranked prospects in return.
In the end, the Dodgers had the leverage.
Skubal has always been pure class. A professional in every respect. Wish him well.
I get it…but baseball can’t work like this. See a long work stoppage coming…
(I wanted the Mets to be the “evil empire”.)
(They remain The Feeble Empire however.
He’s gonna get a record deal too?
Didn’t even know he could sing…
He’s got some good chin music.

The Cubs is an interesting option. My fear is that Harris may have too many lines in the water.
If the Dodgers sense that other clubs will not meet the Tigers’ prospects demands, then the Dodgers can offer less at the deadline. Difficult to know whether Tigers have as much leverage as contemplated.
Skubal is indeed a huge asset for any World Series contender.
Still think it will Dodgers.
Some experts think Tigers may go “all in” and trade any player approaching free agency, and load up on several top 100 prospects.
