MLB insiders have expressed mixed opinions on whether or not the Detroit Tigers will trade two-time American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal this offseason. The ace will be a free agent ahead of the 2027 season, and there is room for debate about whether the Tigers should trade him for a return now or run it back for one more trip to October.
The Boston Red Sox rank among the teams that have the resources available to trade for Skubal, if he were to hit the market. He would certainly fit the Red Sox's offseason needs, as they seek a second elite pitcher to complement Garrett Crochet atop their rotation.
