Yankees Weigh Trading Top Prospect Spencer Jones for Tigers Ace Tarik Skubal

Potential trade could bolster Yankees' pitching staff but faces significant hurdles with Tigers' reluctance to part with Skubal.

Spencer Jones, Yankees' No. 2 prospect, is highly valued for his physical tools and potential.
Tarik Skubal, a Cy Young favorite, has excelled this season with a 2.41 ERA and 140 strikeouts.
The Yankees are unlikely to trade Jones unless they can acquire Skubal, despite other All-Star pitchers being available.
Skubal's recent injury history adds complexity to potential trade negotiations.
Detroit Tigers are hesitant to trade Skubal, who remains under team control for two more years.
