Dodgers reinforce status as baseball’s dominant power and public enemy No. 1 with Tarik Skubal trade

The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired two-time American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers ahead of the trade deadline, strengthening their pitching rotation and reinforcing their pursuit of a third consecutive World Series title. Skubal, who has a 2.79 ERA this season, will bolster the Dodgers' rotation while also allowing cautious management of Shohei Ohtani's injury recovery.
