Tarik Skubal is enjoying a breakout season for the Detroit Tigers, pitching himself into Cy Young award conversations. But there might actually be a chance that an opposing team could trade for him with a compelling enough package. The Baltimore Orioles seem to be such a suitor.
The Orioles, still stocked with talent in their farm system despite already rostering numerous young stars in the majors, will come up as a trade suitor for most stars because they can seemingly outbid any other team. They made a huge splash this offseason by landing former Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes, who has been really good this season, and pairing such a great right with a great lefty in Skubal would instantly make them the undisputed top team of the American League if not all of Major League Baseball.
Jon Morosi of MLB Network said that the Tigers are not likely to trade their ace but that the Orioles are a team that could potentially pull it off given the prospects they have to trade and their need to upgrade their starting pitching rotation.
