Coverage over time: MLB trade deadline moves, headlined by Skubal to the Dodgers
Compiled Aug 3
The Los Angeles Dodgers have made the biggest splash of the MLB trade deadline, acquiring two-time AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers in a blockbuster deal that further cements their status as the league's dominant team. Other notable moves include the Tampa Bay Rays acquiring pitcher Freddy Peralta from the New York Mets, the Pittsburgh Pirates picking up reliever Camilo Doval from the Yankees, and the Yankees adding Luis García. The Detroit Tigers now face an uncertain playoff push without their ace, while the Athletics' Nick Kurtz is set to see a specialist about an injured right thumb. Separately, Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani has been managing a right biceps issue and a left knee problem, though he is expected to return to pitching duties.
