LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tarik Skubal was the one player the Los Angeles Dodgers believed worthy of aggressively pursuing ahead of Monday’s trade deadline. “It just seems like there’s always blowback with us,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday. Skubal brings his own track record, having gone 2-1 with a 2.04 ERA in six playoff starts over the past two postseasons. In the long term, the Dodgers’ trade for Skubal represents one more salvo in the looming battle over baseball’s finances and competitive balance. Skubal was with the Dodgers in the dugout during a 8-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Sunday night.
