The Dodgers on Saturday night made baseball’s worst nightmare come true, as they swung a blockbuster trade for Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, surrendering a pair of top-100 prospects in Zyhir Hope and River Ryan, as well as the club’s 17th-ranked prospect, to net the back-to-back American League Cy Young Award winner.
The deal will send rival executives scrambling to find ways to keep up with the clock ticking on the deadline, and has baseball fans sounding like Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad as they curse Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. He can’t keep getting away with it!
