The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired two time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal in a trade that would send outfielder Zyhir Hope, right handed pitcher River Ryan and right hander Brady Smith to Detroit. Hope is number five, Ryan is number seven and Smith is number 17 among the Dodgers top 20 prospects.

Skubal for most of the 26 season was going to be tradable and he had elbow surgery in May and was not going to finish the season with the Tigers. Skubal was 7-5 with a 2.79 ERA. His joining the Dodgers will just give them that extra push to have another shot at winning another World Series.
