Rumors emerged at the Winter Meetings that the Los Angeles Dodgers might trade for Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal. Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris said there were no "untouchables" on Detroit's roster, and the Dodgers possess prospects and young pitchers able to form a substantial return package. Interest cooled by the end of the meetings, but a trade remains possible at the July deadline. ESPN's Jesse Rogers projects the Dodgers could acquire Skubal as a rental in July to push for a third straight title. Skubal won the 2024 Cy Young and posted a 2.21 ERA and 241 strikeouts in 2025, with a 0.891 WHIP and a fifth-place MVP finish.
