The Detroit Tigers are making big demands in trade talks for Tarik Skubal, the reigning Cy Young Award winner in the American League. Skubal is a consistent pitcher with a rare blend of elite stuff and command.
Trade Demands
The Tigers are seeking pitching under team control for several years and athletic hitters who are close to reaching the big leagues. They have already asked the New York Yankees for their No. 1 overall prospect, George Lombard, and reliever Carlos Lagrange, their No. 4 prospect.
The Yankees reportedly balked at the request, but the Tigers can make big demands given their position. With the trade deadline still over a month away, the team can hold out for the right offer.
