Despite one particular reporter from LA certain that a Tarik Skubal trade was going to happen at the Winter Meetings, the three-day event passed almost silently for the Tigers. Skubal is staying in Detroit — at least for now.
Ken Rosenthal and Katie Woo of The Athletic weighed in on the Skubal rumors as they've pertained to the Dodgers. They wrote explicitly that trading for Skubal was "even less likely" than the Dodgers signing Kyle Tucker (they don't want to give him a six- or seven-year deal), but didn't rule it out.
