There’s theoretically only so much a single player can do to determine an entire franchise’s success — especially in baseball. Basketball’s more standoffish about this concept, with only 10 players on the court at once and five for each team.

Mark Bowman of MLB.com tackled the subject that has grown more popular over the past few weeks: a potential trade of Tarik Skubal by the struggling Detroit Tigers. For the Braves specifically, Bowman concluded that while the Braves would obviously love to acquire Skubal, the high prospect cost for a rental likely does not make […]
If the Detroit Tigers (27-39) feel they are unlikely to make the playoffs this year, president of baseball operations Scott Harris will presumably trade two-time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal for the best haul possible before the Aug. 3 MLB trade deadline.

The Mariners opened their road trip with a particularly deflating series loss to the Detroit Tigers, but the good news is that now Motor City is in the rearview (for the regular season, anyway).

As ESPN’s Jeff Passan pointed out, it’s […]
The Mariners lost a super frustrating game today, dropping the series to the Tigers and letting a winnable game slip away from them, despite getting a strong start from Luis Castillo.
