While Skubal’s talent is undeniable, the Cubs may hesitate to sacrifice top prospects for a pitcher with limited long-term control—unless they believe this is the rare exception that could lead to a World Series run. Detroit, still within playoff reach, faces a tough decision: trade Skubal now or hold onto him for a potential late-season surge. Complicating matters, the Tigers’ front office is led by Scott Harris, a former Cubs exec, which could ease negotiations. With rivals like the Dodgers and Brewers also in the mix, this trade could be a high-stakes gamble—one that might just pay off if the Cubs land Skubal and turn their season around.
