With the Cubs sitting second in the division and leading the wild card race, they’re eyeing a rotation upgrade before the trade deadline. But here’s the catch: Skubal is a free agent at season’s end and could demand the biggest contract ever for a pitcher. The Tigers want young pitching in return, and Cubs’ top prospect Owen Ayers is on the table—though it’s unclear if that’s enough. Other contenders like the Dodgers, Brewers, and Rays are also in the mix, making this one of the most high-stakes trades of the deadline.
