While serious talks reportedly haven't started yet, one can surmise that they will shortly. Signs are pointing toward Skubal's time with the Tigers being done shortly, as partially evidenced by the standing ovation he got following his last start against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. ESPN's Jeff Passan has even go so far to say that the expectation is Skubal will be traded. As summarized by Thomas Harrigan of MLB.com on Thursday, seven teams have been linked to Skubal recently: The Dodgers, New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves Milwaukee Brewers, Tampa Bay Rays, Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies.
