Trade deadline target Tarik Skubal and Detroit fans gave each other a warm farewell Wednesday, just in case this was the two-time Cy Young Award winner’s final appearance in a Tigers jersey

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.

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.
