USA Today's Bob Nightengale just linked the Los Angeles Dodgers to Tarik Skubal, which probably means a trade is not happening. It's already felt that way as KTLA's David Pingalore has been driving the conversation without many people buying into it. At the very least, though, Nightengale's stamp on it gives it a bit more credibility.
In a piece released December 10, Nightengale noted that the Detroit Tigers — who don't consider Skubal untouchable — are "intrigued" by what the Dodgers could potentially fork over for Skubal in the form of prospect capital.
