Tarik Skubals trade rumors are intensifying by the day.
With the MLB trade deadline approaching, the Detroit Tigers are on the edge of trading the reigning Cy Young Winner.
The Tigers are having a miserable season as they sit at the bottom of the AL Central.
With things falling apart, the franchise is expected to part ways with Skubal rather than lose him after he becomes a free agent.
Several teams are in the mix for the pitcher, including the Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers.
The New York Yankees have also been mentioned as a strong fit for Tarik Skubal.
With the latest rumors, the Yankees might hold the upper hand with Skubals.
Making the playoffs seems more questionable each day for the Tigers.
The club will not give away Skubal easily.
If the Tigers want to win, they will look to build a strong team.
It turns out that the Yankees have the perfect prospects that the Tigers want.
A recent report by Jon Heyman states that the Detroit Tigers are interested in George Lombard Jr.
and Carlos Lagrange.
Getting two future All-Stars for Tarik Skubal will certainly benefit the Tigers.
However, its also important to consider if the Yankees will be ready to part ways with two top prospects.
According to Jon Heyman, the Tigers are heavily targeting Yankees top prospects George Lombard Jr.
and Carlos Lagrange.

They have a strong starting rotation in place with Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodon, and Cam Schlittler.
Max Fried will return soon, and the Yanks are pretty much set for their postseason run.
But this is baseball, and strange deals do happen if the right opportunity presents itself.
If the Yanks trade for Tarik Skubal, they would find a way to secure a long-term deal.
