Skubal remains the trade deadline’s crown jewel, and with the Tigers continuing to struggle, it seems more likely than ever that he’ll be dealt.

Tarik Skubal likely has one more start to make for the Detroit Tigers before the MLB trade deadline on Aug. 3. After that, it’s a waiting game.

The Tigers are now seven games under .500, six games out in the AL Central and four games back in the AL wild-card race.
