00:00The Dodgers set to trade All-Star to land Tarek Skubul.

00:04If the Detroit Tigers truly contemplate trading Tarek Skubul this offseason,

00:08the return would need to be seismic.

00:11It cannot be theoretical. It must be real, tangible value.

00:15The move must signal Detroit is not rebuilding but retooling with force.

00:20And lurking in the shadows to snatch him up are the Dodgers.

00:24Skubul is a left-handed ace with age, control, and performance all on his side.

00:29And not just in theory, it would have to be a real, tangible value that signals Detroit is not rebuilding.

00:36Reports suggest the Los Angeles Dodgers are open to trading Tyler Glasnow,

00:40a notable possibility given he's just 32 and was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays last year

00:45as a high-upside but injury-prone arm.

00:48While Glasnow's elite stuff is unquestioned, durability remains a concern.

00:53Despite recently adding Shohei Otani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto

00:57while continuing their World Series push, the Dodgers are weighing contracts against value.

01:03Glasnow's deal runs through 20-27 with a potential 20-28 option,

01:08guaranteeing at least $60 million over the next two years,

01:12plus possible escalations, despite him making only 18 starts last season.

01:17When Tyler Glasnow is healthy, he's elite,

01:20posting a 3.19 ERA and 106 strikeouts in just over 90 innings last season.

01:27But durability remains the concern.

01:29By contrast, Tarek Skubul is coming off a breakout year as a true front-line starter,

01:35younger, healthier, and under team control longer,

01:38making his overall value arguably higher despite Glasnow's stronger name recognition.

01:43The Dodgers could consider dangling Tyler Glasnow,

01:46but he alone wouldn't be enough to land Tarek Skubul from Detroit,

01:49as this would require a complex multi-asset deal involving prospects,

01:54controllable talent, and possibly cash.

01:56For the Tigers, moving Skubul at peak value would represent a bold strategic pivot

02:01rather than a rebuild.

02:02Yet unless Los Angeles is willing to significantly overpay,

02:06the talks may go nowhere.
