MLB trade deadline: Tarik Skubal is the big prize, but buyers have other options, too

Major League Baseball's trade deadline is approaching, and several top pitchers could be on the move. Tarik Skubal, a two-time Cy Young winner, is a standout candidate. Despite recent surgery, he's been performing well for the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers are still on the periphery of the playoff race, which complicates trade decisions. Other pitchers like Freddy Peralta and Mason Miller are also attracting attention. Teams like the Yankees, Rays and Dodgers are clear buyers, while others remain undecided. The deadline is Monday at 6 p.m. EDT, and many teams are weighing their options as they consider potential trades.
