With this move, the Dodgers would have a reliable ace to go with Yamamoto and Glasnow when they return. Skubal would be added to that rotation, instantly making Los Angeles a title contender.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are once again in the conversation for a World Series title. However, their starting rotation has been completely decimated by injuries. Tyler Glasnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Walker Buehler are all on the injured list, though Glasnow is close to returning.

But even with Glasnow on his way back, the Dodgers are going to need some help in the rotation if they want to make a push in October. The Detroit Tigers haven’t made left-hander Tarik Skubal available, but the Dodgers hope to make Scott Harris an offer he can’t refuse.

Skubal is 10-3 this season with a 2.41 ERA in 19 starts and he has punched out 140 batters.

This is a trade that would give the Dodgers a legitimate ace to go with Glasnow and Yamamoto when they both return. Los Angeles would become an instant title contender with Skubal added to that rotation. They also might have a chance to run down the Philadelphia Phillies for the top spot in the National League.
