Tigers-Tarik Skubal drama just brought Dodgers one step closer to pulling off a trade

The Dodgers passed their arbitration deadline day with zero fanfare. They'd already settled with Brusdar Graterol, and they gave all of Alex Call, Brock Stewart, and Anthony Banda almost exactly what everyone expected them to ($1.6 million, $1.3 million, and $1.625 million, respectively) — marginal amounts compared to everyone else on LA's roster.

However, halfway across the country, the Tigers and Tarik Skubal turned themselves into a spectacle. They were unable to agree on a contract for Skubal's last year under team control. Detroit filed at $19 million and Skubal at $32 million. That's the biggest gap in the history of the arbitration system.
