Detroit Tigers, Tarik Skubal trade rumors, buzz, latest developments - detroitnews.com

The Detroit Tigers spent the 2026 season weighing whether to buy or sell ahead of MLB's trade deadline set for 6 p.m. Monday, with much attention focused on ace pitcher Tarik Skubal.
Detroit completed the recent Jahmai Jones trade with Boston by acquiring 24-year-old left-hander Jojo Ingrassia, who went 2-1 with a 3.27 ERA in 13 games (11 starts) at High-A Greenville and will report to High-A West Michigan.
Starter Casey Mize has drawn interest from multiple clubs, with The Athletic citing the Cubs, Diamondbacks and Rays, and the New York Post's Jon Heyman reporting the Braves are also eyeing the right-hander.
The Tigers scratched Mize from his scheduled Friday start against the Athletics as a precaution, using a bullpen game and pushing his next outing past the deadline; the former No. 1 overall pick, in his final year of club control, is having his best season with a 2.70 ERA and 24.9% strikeout rate over 16 starts.
Per USA Today's Bob Nightengale, as of Saturday morning the Tigers had not seriously engaged with teams on Skubal, though that was expected to change by Sunday, with no offers yet exchanged for the two-time Cy Young winner.
The New York Post's Jon Heyman reported that multiple executives described Detroit's asking price for Skubal as "enormous," signaling the club expects a substantial return in any potential deal.
