Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts famously joked after the 2025 NLCS that his club would “ruin baseball” if they went on to win the World Series. Well, LA did win it all, and baseball has remained un-ruined.

Reports say the Dodgers have a trade for Tigers ace Tarik Skubal “essentially done,” pending approval and an extension.

Following the signings of Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz last week, the MLB offseason hot stove continues to bring new updates on Kyle Tucker, Tarik Skubal and Bo Bichette.

As Mark Walter said after his team's latest World Series title: "(The front office) makes all the decisions. I just tell them yes."

The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets get bad news from a former MLB general manager amid their interest in Tarik Skubal.
