The 2026 MLB trade deadline is fast approaching, and our battling Tigers are right in the thick of it as the clock ticks toward 6 p.m. ET on Aug. 3! Tarik Skubal is called the best pitcher in baseball ahead of this deadline, and folks, Detroit's recent hot streak has made it far less certain that our feisty ace will be changing teams! The Tigers think they can win the division, and they'll hold out as long as possible in deciding whether to trade Skubal — and that is exactly the swagger we want to see! Meanwhile the Colorado Rockies, owners of the worst record in the majors, have declared themselves unloaders, already shipping reliever Seth Halvorsen to the Dodgers for two minor leaguers as Paul DePodesta and Josh Byrnes work their first deadline! The defending Dodgers are chasing the first-ever three straight National League titles with Snell and Glasnow trending toward an August return! But us? We keep our eyes on Skubal and pray he stays put!
Feel free to follow the link below to keep tabs on every move before Aug. 3!
