A Surprise Team Enters the Tarik Skubal Sweepstakes? The Phillies are looking to add to their rotation ahead of the deadline, but landing the defending two-time Cy Young Award winner Skubal was not on anyone's radar and is indicative of how much the team wants to win a World Series. With Zach Wheeler, Christopher Sanchez, and Jesus Luzardo already making up a potent 1-2-3 punch, adding Skubal to the mix would give the organization one of the greatest rotations in modern baseball history. Whether they can offer a more attractive package than the National League favorites, the defending two-time World Series-winning Los Angeles Dodgers, is the question. Passan reported, "While everybody is thinking that the Brewers are gonna be in it, that the Rays are gonna be in it, that the Atlanta Braves are gonna be in it, they're all almost resigned to the idea that the Los Angeles Dodgers are going to get Tarik Skubal."
