The Dodgers are gearing up for the trade deadline, and with championship expectations, they might be forced to make a blockbuster move. The team's biggest area of concern is starting pitching, with Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow struggling to stay on the mound. The front office may look internally to Snell and Glasnow, who are on the mend, but a setback could lead to an external rotation help. The biggest fish in the pond is Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers, a two-time American League Cy Young award winner. The Dodgers are in a prime position to acquire Skubal, with their asset-rich status and strong minor league talent. However, the team must also consider the status of Shohei Ohtani, who has been absent from recent games due to knee treatment. The Dodgers will need to make a decision on whether to trade for Skubal and how to manage Ohtani's pitching schedule. With the trade deadline approaching, the Dodgers are facing a crucial moment in their season, and the decisions they make now could have a significant impact on their chances of winning the World Series.
