Let’s get one thing straight before Detroit Tigers fans let the latest Los Angeles Dodgers soundbite send them spiraling: Tyler Glasnow saying the Dodgers told him he won’t be traded does not materially change the Tarik Skubal conversation. Not for Detroit. Not for L.A. And certainly not for Scott Harris.
If anything, Glasnow’s comments just exposed a false assumption that never really made sense in the first place. For weeks, the national framing has been lazy but loud: If the Dodgers trade for Skubal, Glasnow has to be in it.
