All the rumors finally came to fruition Saturday night when the Tigers made a deal to send Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers ahead of Monday's Trade Deadline.

The Phillies lineup has a glaring problem. Is a Deadline solution out there?
Bryce Harper says his Phillies “need some help” as the Deadline nears, and that’s an entirely correct statement. The Phillies do need help, and in more than one way.

What's behind unheralded Brewer's breakout? Elite bat speed is just the start
The Brewers led the Majors with 97 wins last season and reached the NLCS for the first time since 2018.

Seven years between big league appearances, this flame-thrower is a different pitcher
When the Red Sox signed Tyron Guerrero to a Minor League contract in January, the move didn’t exactly cause a stir.
But a small group of fans may have remembered a time when Guerrero did cause a stir. The 6-foot-8 right-hander logged 112 appearances for the Marlins from 2018-19, and...

Which version of Skubal would trade suitors be getting?
It's the defining question of this year's Trade Deadline: Will Tarik Skubal be dealt? But perhaps just as important for potential suitors is this: what exactly are they buying?
