Speculation linking the Chicago Cubs as a sleeper destination for Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal has been dampened, according to recent reports. The Cubs were mentioned as a potential suitor amid a high-profile battle between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets for the left-hander's services, but that narrative has quickly lost momentum.
The rumor surfaced as MLB trade discussions heat up, with Skubal regarded as one of the most coveted arms on the market. While the Dodgers and Mets remain the primary contenders, the Cubs' involvement appears to have been overstated.
