Starting pitcher Tarik Skubal took the mound on Wednesday at Comerica Park with his future very much up in the air. With the trade deadline rapidly approaching this Monday, many in the stands and around the baseball world wondered if this would be the two-time Cy Young Award winner’s final start for the Detroit Tigers.

On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss why this could be the end of the line for Skubal in Detroit, as the Tigers continue to mull whether they will trade their ace despite still being in a postseason push. The guys then determine which team makes the most sense to acquire Skubal and what a potential trade package could look like if the Tigers decide to pull the trigger before Monday’s 6 p.m. ET deadline.

Later in the show, Jake and Jordan try to identify the one player that the New York Mets, San Francisco Giants, Kansas City Royals, Toronto Blue Jays, and other probable sellers will trade by Monday, and why now could be the perfect time for each club to think about the future. They close the show by taking a look at the current state of the Seattle Mariners following their first win at Dodger Stadium since 2009, Shohei Ohtani‘s biceps becoming a bit of a concern and an early look at the upcoming 30 for 30 podcast about the Ohtani-Ippei betting scandal.
