We have reached June, and the MLB standings are starting to take shape. Now that everyone has played in about 60 games, teams have to take a look at both their seasons and their rosters and decide whether they will be sellers between now and the August 3 trade deadline. There are sure to be plenty of big trades made that will have a huge impact on fantasy baseball.
One team that looks sure to be a seller before the deadline is the Detroit Tigers. Currently, they are sitting with the worst record in the league at 23-38 and are 11 games out of first place in the AL Central.
They have starting pitcher Tarik Skubal, who is sure to be one of the hottest players on the market as long as he can get healthy. He is set to miss his 30th consecutive game tonight dating back to a loss to the Atlanta Braves on April 29, but could be on the mend. The Tigers got some good news this week, and Skubal could begin a rehab assignment as soon as this weekend.
If he comes back and looks like himself, the Tigers could try to trade him as soon as possible to avoid losing him to injury and having him walk away for nothing in free agency after the season. One team that could look to scoop him up off the market is the New York Yankees.
