BLOCKBUSTER: Detroit Tigers TRADE Tarik Skubal to Los Angeles Dodgers, ANALYZING The Return

Locked On Podcast Network — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Detroit Tigers trade Tarik Skubal to Los Angeles Dodgers in a blockbuster move that redefines the roster. Can Scott Harris’s gamble reshape Detroit’s future or will this deadline deal haunt the franchise?

Scott Bentley breaks down the full return for Skubal, spotlighting top prospect Zaire Hope’s power-speed potential, River Ryan’s intriguing—if controversial—pitching profile despite injury history, and Brady Smith’s high-upside arm. Key topics include public perception versus trade reality, Tigers front office missteps, and what this means for the outfield tandem of Max Clark, Riley Greene, and now Hope. Assessing the national media’s reaction, Scott discusses whether Detroit squeezed fair value or missed an opportunity, and explores the prospects’ potential impact on the Tigers’ rebuild. Will losing their homegrown ace spark a new era, or signal deeper problems in retaining top talent?

DAGGER: Detroit Tigers Suffer Devastating MELTDOWN Loss as Tarik Skubal TRADE Rumors Intensify

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Detroit Tigers blow a 7-run lead in extra-innings heartbreak against the Baltimore Orioles, signaling a likely shift to sell mode at the trade deadline. Is this dramatic 10-9 loss the final straw for Scott Harris and the Tigers’ front office? With Tarik Skubal’s potentially final start at Comerica Park and the team now 7 games under .500, roster decisions loom large as the postseason slips further out of reach.

Scott Bentley breaks down the Tigers’ bullpen collapse, Kyle Finnegan’s concerning July, and Riley Green’s struggles with runners in scoring position. The offense shines, with Spencer Torkelson notching his 500th hit and 100th career home run, and the bottom of the lineup producing big. Key discussion points include Matt Vierling’s injury, McGonigle’s defensive gems, and why holding onto expiring contracts could spell disaster for Detroit’s rebuild. Can a sweep against the Oakland Athletics change the Tigers’ fate, or is it truly time to sell?
