What happened: Mark Feinsand says executives around the league expect the Detroit Tigers to trade Tarik Skubal. The Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee Brewers, Tampa Bay Rays and Chicago Cubs have surfaced as possible fits.

Why it matters: A deal would reshape the starting-pitching market and force contenders to weigh Detroit's price against other available arms. Skubal's looming free agency gives the Tigers a narrow window to secure a return.

What to watch: Detroit has until the Aug. 3 deadline to accept an offer or keep Skubal for the stretch run.
