Overview
- USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported that Detroit engaged in serious discussions with Los Angeles and was intrigued by a proposed Dodgers prospect package.
- A KTLA claim that a Skubal-to-Dodgers trade was essentially done was publicly disputed by MLB insider Robert Murray, and no other outlet has confirmed such a deal.
- Tigers baseball operations chief Scott Harris reiterated at the Winter Meetings that no player is off-limits, signaling openness to offers that meet the club’s valuation.
- Los Angeles agreed to terms with closer Edwin Díaz this week, and reporting from The Athletic argues the Dodgers may not need Skubal given their rotation strength and the likely high acquisition cost.
- ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez reported the Dodgers are not opposed to moving Tyler Glasnow, a stance that could shape roster and payroll options if talks with Detroit continue.
