The problem with that is everyone knew Skubal would just end up signing for the Dodgers in the offseason anyway, so there's no point in giving up prospects for a 2-3 month rental.
Blue Jays trade RHP Kevin Gausman to the Cubs for prospects OF Brett Bateman and INF Ty Southisene.
Nationals trade INF Luis Garcia to the Yankees for four RHPs -- Yovanny Cruz, Jake Bird, Ben Grable and Jack Cebert.
Giants trade RHP Tyler Mahle to the Braves for prospect RHP Anthony Molina.

The WPBL recently wrapped up its inaugural opening weekend:
For the 2026 season, all four teams - the Boston Hunters, the Los Angeles Queens, the New York Heights, and the San Francisco Firebells - are sharing a "neutral" stadium in Springfield, Illinois. (In case anyone is wondering, the choice of team names is explained here.)
The league intends to move these teams to dedicated "home" venues in future seasons, as well as to consider expanding the number of teams.
Games are being carried in the U.S. by ESPN Select and by Scripps Sports Network, and internationally on the league YouTube channel.
I should note that there has been some... less-than-positive feedback on the quality of the initial broadcast presentation. But, to be fair, it's still a fledgling organization, so hopefully they can iron things out as the season progresses.

Trade deadline day.
Giants trade three-time batting champion 2B Luis Arraez to the Phillies.
Angels trade RHP Jose Soriano to the Blue Jays.
Angels trade OF Jo Adell to the Guardians for C Jacob Cozart.
Orioles trade OF Taylor Ward to the Mariners.
Mets trade LHP Brooks Raley to the Phillies.
Rockies trade CF Brenton Doyle to the White Sox.
Rumor has the Orioles trading C Adley Rutschman to the Red Sox pending a physical.
Marlins trade C, 1B, DH Liam Hicks to the Rays.
Giants trade RHP Robbie Ray to the Padres.
Royals trade LHP Kris Bubic (who is hurt and an upcoming free agent) to the Dodgers. I guess if any team can take a flier on a player without it negatively affecting them if it doesn't pan out, it's them.
Rangers try to trade RHP Jacob deGrom but he invokes his no-trade clause. The team has also asked SS Corey Seager and RHP Nathan Eovaldi about waiving their no-trade clauses.

At least he got some exercise
Cubs completed a 3 game sweep of those damn Dodgers, so I'm happy about that.
With Mariners doing a fine job of wasting potential the Cubs definitely have my interest.
Angels give up their only decent pitcher in a fire sale. Waving the white flag, again, for the 12th year in a row.
If Mike is retiring, I think Duane is retiring too. I had a feeling that was going to happen. It felt inevitable.
Jefry Yan, a 29-year-old rookie who was out of the game for four years (and had Tommy John recovery the season before those four), likes to jump extremely high in the air when he gets a strikeout. You think someone on the other team is going to take that personally with his "unwritten rules"?
If I was the Mets, I’d be worried about him injuring himself.
Dodgers lose another 7 seven in a row.
Yeah. The rumors are starting to swirl that the Mariners are going to get rid of Dan Wilson sooner rather than later.
On paper, with the players the Mariners have, they should be leading the division; yet, everyone has underperformed.
I'm going for the man, the myth, the legend... Super Mario! Can't really do any worse.
Rational Jays fans saw it coming, but too many are still on the kool-aid because in a dreadful AL wild card, they are three games back.
