The Los Angeles Dodgers are only a few steps away from becoming the next great dynasty in MLB history. If they want to capitalize on this championship window they’ve created before they suffer the consequences, getting another superstar could lock them in as the team to beat for the foreseeable future. 

You know what’s better than having only three Cy Young level pitchers in your rotation? Having four. Fansided’s Zachary Rotman believes the move that can destroy the MLB’s hopes of any other team winning the World series for a while is making a blockbuster trade for Detroit Tigers two-time Cy Young Tarik Skubal.

“As scary as it’d be to see the Dodgers land Tucker, MLB fans hope that’ll happen if the alternative is a trade for Tarik Skubal, the best pitcher in baseball. There’s no telling as to whether the Detroit Tigers are actually open to trading the back-to-back Cy Young winner, but the fact that they haven’t publicly shut down talks to this point keeps the option open for the Dodgers to blow them away with an offer. Again, the Dodgers have the assets to acquire Skubal, and do so without even thinking twice…Watching the Dodgers trade for him, of all people, forming the best rotation in MLB history in the process, would be the most soul-crushing move Los Angeles could possibly make for the rest of the league,” Rotman wrote.

This past season, Skubal posted a 13-6 record, a 2.21 ERA, 241 Ks, and a WHIP of 0.891 over 195 innings pitched. Put him in a rotation with Cy Young candidates in Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, another two-time Cy Young in Blake Snell, and an All-Star ace at the end in Tyler Glasnow, and the Dodgers would have the greatest rotation to grace a baseball field.

Hopefully, for all MLB fans, this doesn’t happen. For Dodgers fans, pray the front office finds a package suitable enough that gives the Tigers enough of a reason to break the MLB.
