New York Mets trade rumors involving Tarik Skubal have headlined the good part of a week. Easily the best starting pitcher who could change teams this offseason, the Detroit Tigers ace is going to be one of the most discussed names all offseason. There isn’t a free agent quite at his level with Kyle Tucker coming off of a somewhat down season being the priciest player we should hear a ton about in the coming weeks.
There is only one Skubal and with Detroit’s intention to contend next year, it’s important to have some backup plans in mind.
