FanSided's own MLB Insider, Robert Murray, reported the following about the Brewers' pursuit of Tarik Skubal: "The Milwaukee Brewers did not land Tarik Skubal. Since the MLB Trade Deadline, fans have debated whether the Dodgers had a better trade package than the Brewers in the first place. Brewers fall victim to the MLB's dangerous salary cap problem and small-market disparity in the Tarik Skubal trade saga. But on the flip side, it also erodes the idea that a team like the Milwaukee Brewers could not only trade for, but then retain a player like Skubal. It takes them out of the running when, by many accounts, they made the better trade offer in the first place.
